PREFACE 

This book has a bold name, and its purpose is serious. There is a great 
difference between Purity and Ignorance. The Race is ignorant of the 
destructive force of Sin (Lust) and is not Pure. I am convinced that the 
only way to teach the Race, Purity, is to teach the Race the Crime of Sin 
(Lust), and its destructive force. This book is just as bold as to Sin and 
Lust, as is the Bible, and no more. I have made an honest effort in this 
volume to interpret the Sex of the Bible so as to teach men and women 
how Lust destroys soul, mind, and body — and how Purity saves soul, 
mind, and body. There could be no higher purpose, for any book and any 
volume that teaches this as the Bible does, must be plain, for the Bible is 
true to nature — and is not a Book for children. This book is written for 
adults and is sold to adults only. 

Since writing my books on the Bible I have had frequent requests as to 
the mental and spiritual nature of my parents. Both my father and my 
mother died when I was a child. I have no photograph of my father, but 
through the goodness of an old lady friend, I came into possession of a 
photograph of my mother, after I became a man — and it is run in this 
book to meet the requests named. Those who knew my mother and 
know me, say I am the living image of her. They tell me she was very 
spiritual and a woman of great goodness of heart; and those who knew my 
father tell me that he was a man of great moral conviction, and the character 
of the parents is living in these works. 

I hope the Work will do much good, and will teach men and women 
that Lust only means death, and that Purity leads to health, the Kingdom 
of God, and Life Eternal. 

Sincerely, 

SIDNEY C. TAPP.

Sex, The Key To The Bible. 



CHAPTER I. 

After Adam and Eve indulged in the lust of the flesh, by sexual inter- 
course, the "Lord God cursed the ground. " The ground here is the flesh. 
It is Matter. It is the Flesh. Adam was told "that from dust he was 
taken and to dust he should return." This is the same "earth" that man 
"who was made in God's image" was told to be "fruitful, multiply, increase, 
refill and subdue." It is Matter. It is the Flesh. It is the material man — 
it is the flesh and the lust of the flesh. 

Ground and earth here, in the original, are the same, and mean the 
material man and the lust of the flesh. That is Matter. . They are the 
Adam man. The original for Adam means, "red earth." It is the "flesh 
and blood" that our Lord said could not "inherit the kingdom of heaven." 
Red is that quality of mind which loves the flesh. It is the quality of 
the mind of lust. It is the quality of mind of the orgasm of the sex act. It 
is crimson. This is the earth that the Lord God cursed. He said, "Thorns 
also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat of the herbs 
of the field." Gen. 3. 18. 

Thorns and thistles of the earth here, are symbolic of the sins and 
diseases of the lust of the flesh. All living was of spirit until the fall. All 
food was spiritual substance until the fall. Then material food became 
necessary for the material body. The earth that was cursed was the lust 
of the flesh, and the curse was insanity, syphilis, gonorrhoea, leprosy, and 
all the diseases that follow as the result of the lust of the flesh, and finally 
death itself. 

The Lord God told the woman that her desire should be unto her hus- 
band. This desire is controlled by the solar system. It is a sex desire. 
It is the most intense' just before and after her monthly sickness. This 
thought is controlled by the solar system. She was told that in sorrow 
she should conceive and bring forth children. The desire to conceive is 
within the sex mind. This desire is controlled by the solar system. After 



conception the woman is in pain and sorrow, and her thoughts, moods 
and change of mind are controlled by the solar system. The woman was 
told that her husband should rule over her. This is the law of the sex 
mind of the female; she desires to submit sexually unto the maje and to 
be ruled by him, and this thought is controlled by the solar system. Man 
was told that he should "leave father and mother and cleave unto the 
woman." This is the sex law of the male and this thought is controlled 
by the solar system. The sex mind is within the nerve cells of the brain 
and the generative organs. This is the land of Shinar, and the land of 
Egypt, Chaldea, and all paganism. It is sex consciousness and sex worship. 
In all the Orient, and the ancient world, can be found, in the museums and 
art galleries, statues and art figures half man and half beast; half woman 
and half beast, and men united to men, and women united to women, 
and men united to beast, and women united to beast can be found every- 
where in the Art and Literatutre of the Ancient and Pagan World. This 
art represents the sex thought of the ancient pagans. It represents the 
sex thought of men cohabiting with beast, and women cohabiting with 
beast, and men cohabiting with men, and women with women. This 
thought is within the cells of the brain and the generative organs. It is of 
the material senses and matter. It is the lowest and most degraded state 
of sex worship. Moses prohibited it under the Mosaic Law, St. Paul wrote 
against it, St. Peter and St. Jude wrote against it, and the Apostles preached 
against it. Adam was told that, having yielded and indulged with Eve, 
he should die. This thought of the mind of lust is the thought of 
death. Hence, the serpent mind goes from the state of natural intercourse 
through all states of degradation and finally to the degraded state of the 
desire to cohabit with dead bodies. This sex thought is death and desires 
death; hence, Moses prohibited the children of Israel, and the Priests of 
Israel, from cohabiting with dead bodies, as did the Egyptians and the 
Egyptian priests. The Egyptian priests cohabited with dead bodies, as is 
taught by Moses. 

The law of death of the sex mind is clearly brought out in the sixth 
chapter of Revelation. In the second verse of the sixth chapter of Reve- 
lation we have the white horse; "he went forth conquering and to conquer. " 
White is a quality of the mind. It is that quality of mind which symbolizes 
purity. It is that quality of mind which does not know the love of the 
lust of the flesh. It is the Christ idea and the Christ mind. It goes forth 
"conquering and to conquer" the death of the sex mind and the lust of 
the flesh. 

In the fourth verse of the sixth chapter of Revelation we have the red 
horse. "And power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace 
from the earth, and that they should kill one another." The color red, here, 

—10— 



/ 



is a quality of mind; it is that quality of mind which is the love of the lust 
of the flesh, and it takes peace from the earth. Earth here means flesh, 
and the mind of lust takes peace from the flesh. It diseases the flesh. "And 
they shall kill one another. " The lust of the flesh causes men to kill and 
murder each other. 

In the fifth verse of the sixth chapter of Revelation we have the black 
horse. Black is that quality of mind which is of more intense lust than 
red. It is the opposite of white; it is of the lust of the flesh and hell. 

In the eighth verse of the sixth chapter of Revelation we have the pale 
horse. "And his name that sat on him was Death; and hell followed with 
him." This is the last and most intense state of the mind of lust. It is 
death and hell. We see this "pale horse" around us daily. We see men 
and women pale and destroyed through sex indulgence and from self-abuse. 
The syphilitic, the paralytic, the insane, the deaf and blind, come from 
this "pale horse" of death. 

In the thirteenth verse of the second chapter of Revelation we are told 
where "Satan's seat is." It is within the sex mind. It is the "pale horse 
of death." This sex mind is the "Gentile world." It is the seat of death. 
The Gentile world is within the senses of the cells of the brain and the gen- 
erative organs. This is the Land of Paganism. 

In Revelation, fifth chapter, ninth and tenth verses, we are told that 
the saints who overcome this sex mind of death, "sing a new song." Those 
who are redeemed from every kingdom, tribe, and nation, give praise unto 
God, and they are made kings and priests unto God. We are told that red 
is a quality of mind; it is that quality of mind which is the love of the lust 
of the flesh, and it takes peace from the earth. Earth here means flesh, 
and the mind of lust takes peace from the flesh. It diseases the flesh. "And 
they shall kill one another." The lust of the flesh causes men to kill and 
murder each other. 

In the fifth verse of the sixth chapter of Revelation we have the black 
horse. Black is that quality of mind which is of more intense lust than 
red. It is the opposite of white; it is of the lust of the flesh and hell. 

In the eighth verse of the sixth chapter of Revelation we have the pale 
horse. "And his name that sat on him was Death; and hell followed with 
him." This is the last and most intense state of the mind of lust. It is 
death and hell. We see this "pale horse" around us daily. We see men 
and women pale and destroyed through sex indulgence and from self-abuse. 
The syphilitic, the paralytic, the insane, the deaf and blind, come from the 
"pale horse" of death. "They that overcome shall reign on the earth. " 
"Earth" here means the flesh. For this passage to be given the correct spirit- 
ual meaning it should read, "And they shall reign OVER THE FLESH." 
These are the saints. They are those who have overcome the sex mind and 
death. 

—11— 



In the seventh and eighth verses of the ninth chapter of Revelation, we 
have the idea brought out, of the sex thought, where men and women 
desire the lower animal creation for sex purposes. 

"The locust and the horse are prepared unto battle," and "their faces 
were as the faces of men." "And they had hair as the hair of women, and 
their teeth were as the teeth of lions." Here we have the sex thought of 
men cohabiting with the lower animals, and women cohabiting with the 
lower animals. The prophets of the Old Testament bring out the same 
idea; it is the lowest state of degradation and death. This thought of 
degredation and death of the serpent mind is all through the Bible. "And 
in those days shall men seek death and shall not find it; and shall desire 
to die and death shall flee from them." This is the law of death of the 
serpent mind. It leads to remorse of conscience, to disease, and to death. 
All through Revelation and the Bible this sex mind is symbolized by the 
serpent, the dragon and the scorpion. It is the abandonded state of lust, 
death and hell. 

Our Lord said, in speaking of the temple at Jerusalem, "It is written, 
my Father's house is a house of prayer, and ye have made it a den of 
thieves." The temple represented his body, and he lived within his body 
as the house of prayer, for he had overcome the lust of the flesh. To make 
this body a den of thieves, is to live within the sex thought. The sex 
thought is dishonest in every thing that it does and thinks. This is the 
"red dragon" of Revelation. Red is the quality of mind that T oves the 
lust of the flesh. 

The "red Sea" was symbolic of the same quality of mind. Sea in the 
Bible, metaphysically speaking, is symbolic of the sex mind, and its quality 
of mind is red, which is lust. The children of Israel were coming out of 
this state of mind and thought, and going into Cannan, which was the land 
of spiritual truth. Hence the red sea rolled back, so as to let them pass 
over on dry land. The Egyptians were living within the sex thought, 
hence the red sea closed in on them. We are told in Isaiah, eleventh chap- 
ter fourth verse that "God shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, 
and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked." "Earth" here 
means flesh. It is matter. It is the love of the flesh and lust. The 
"wicked" are those who live for the lust of the flesh. "Wickedness" is 
within the cells of the brain and the generative organs; it is the sex thought. 
There were seven lions in the lion's den, where Daniel was placed. One 
of them was a big lion. There are seven sensual lobes of the brain. There 
is one big lobe at the base of the brain which is the seat of sensuality and it 
connects the other six lobes of the brain. This is the "Seat of Satan", in 
Revelation. This big lobe of the brain that connects the other six lobes, 
is the big lion that was in the lion's den. The seven lobes of the brain were 



-12— 



the seven lions. Daniel was pure, and "innocency was found in him," 
hence the lions did not harm him. He lived above the sex thought of the 
seven lobes of the brain. The sex thought of the seven lobes of the brain 
are the seven devils that our Lord cast out of Mary Magdelene. Seven is 
an earthly number, that is, a fleshly number. It is the symbol of the com- 
plete thought of the seven lobes of the brain. It is complete sin. This is 
the angel with the seven last plagues of Revelation. It is the complete sex 
thought working out its course of destruction. Its plagues are syphilis, 
and all diseases of the race, viz: insanity, wars, and all the sorrows of the race. 
They are all within the sex thought. Seven is likewise a heavenly number. 
"It is the seven spirits before the throne of God;" "it is the seven churches 
and the seven golden candlesticks, and the seven angels, and the seven 
stars," in Revelation. These symbolize the mind of purity completely 
overcoming the thought of the sex mind, which is located within the cells 
of the seven lobes of the brain. They symbolize the Divine Mind com- 
pletely overcoming the sex thought of the human mind or earthly mind. 
They symbolize the mind overcoming lust and matter. There are twleve 
months in the year; these twelve seasons control the thought of the sex 
mind. ' This is the law of the solar system. There are twelve faculties in 
the mind, hence the twelve Apostles and the twelve tribes of Israel. 

In Revelation, we have within the Holy City, "the tree of life bearing 
its twelve manner of fruits for the healing of the nations." "The twelve 
manner of fruits for the healing of the nations" is symbolic of purity over- 
coming sensuality. It is symbolic of the mind overcoming lust and matter. 
It is symbolic of the Divine Mind manifested upon the soul until the soul 
has overcome the sex thought of the human mind. This is the material 
"stars falling," and "the sea fleeing away," and "earth being no more," as 
recorded in Revelation. It is the senses of the brain going out of con- 
sciousness. It is the sex thought going out of consciousness. "The new 
heaven and new earth," of Revelation is the spiritual creation. Twelve 
is a heavenly number as well as an earthly number. There is a corres- 
pondency all through the Bible between mind and matter, and between 
heaven and earth. Matter and earth (flesh) is a sex thought. Spirit and 
heaven constitute the mind, living above matter and the sex thought. As 
matter and the sex thought pass out of consciousness, heaven and the 
spiritual creation is gained in consciousness. Gold is the symbol of this 
state of spiritual thought. Gold will not adulterate easily with other 
matter and foreign substances. It symbolizes the purity of the mind free 
from the flesh. It is the symbol of clean thoughts which are not adulterated 
with the sex thoughts of the flesh; hence, Moses was commanded to place 
gold all through the Tabernacle and on the altar. The Tabernacle was the 
symbol of our Lord's body. He was in the flesh, but lived above the sex 



—13- 



thought of the flesh. Our bodies are the sanctuaries and the houses of 
God, in proportion as we overcome the sex thought and the lust of the flesh. 
We sanctify our bodies and make them the houses and the temples of the 
living God as we overcome the lust of the flesh and the sex thought. Moses 
was commanded to let the light burn continuously upon the altar. Light 
is that quality of mind which is above the lust of the flesh and the sex 
thought. This is the light that shall light the eternal city of the New 
Jersusalem, and we should let this Light of Purity, in thought, shine every 
moment in our minds. St. John tells us in Revelation that the moon and 
sun shall not give the Holy City light, but that God Almighty shall be the 
light thereof. There will be no matter in the Holy City. It is the city of 
mind, with the mind purified from the love of the flesh, hence "God Al- 
mighty and the Lamb shall be the light thereof/ ' The sun and moon are 
the light of the senses. Their light is material light. It is manifested 
upon and through the material senses. There will be no material senses in 
the Holy City; matter shall have been overcome, hence the sun and moon 
shall not be the light of it. 

The solar system controls the sensual or sex mind. The sensual or 
sex mind is the mind of the senses or nerve cells of the brain and generative 
organs. When the senses shall go out of consciousness, the solar system 
shall "roll away like a scroll." This is the end of time. This is the falling 
of Babylon. It is the death of the dragon. It is the overcoming of the 
lust of the flesh and matter. It is "the new heaven and new earth," 
"wherein all things are made new." This new creation is spiritual, and "the 
light thereof is God Almighty and the Lamb." 

In the first chapter of Genesis we have the account of creation, and the 
days of creation. These days represent the unfolding of the senses of the 
brain into consciousness. These seven days are the account of creation and 
the unfolding of the senses of the seven lobes of the brain into consciousness. 

The senses of the seven lobes of the brain are directly connected with 
the generative organs and the nervous system. The senses of the gener- 
ative organs constitute the seven heads upon "which the woman sitteth" 
in Revelation, and the seven lobes of the brain are the "seven mountains 
upon which the woman sitteth," in Revelation. The nerves of the seven 
lobes of the brain are connectecKwith the nerves of the generative organs, 
that constitute the seven heads of the serpent. Seven is therefore an 
earthly number, in that it is the symbol of the sensual or sex mind, in that 
there are seven lobes of the brain where sensuality is located. This is the 
"seat of Satan," in Revelation. As we overcome the senses of the 
seven lobes of the brain and the generative organs, we rise above the flesh, 
that is, the earth, and enter heaven — that is, a spiritual state of conscious- 
ness. The complete overcoming of the seven senses of the brain and 



-14- 



generative organs is heaven. Seven is also a heavenly number. It is the 
symbol, as a heavenly number, of having completely overcome the senses 
of the seven lobes of the brain and generative organs in thought. 

We are told in Genesis, first chapter and twenty-fourth verse, "And 
God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, 
cattle, and creeping things, and beast of the earth after his kind; and it was 
so." 

The living creatures here "of the earth" are symbolic of the sensual 
thoughts. All the beast creation is controlled by the sensual in 
thought. The beast creation is of the "earth," that is, of the sensual. We 
are told in Genesis, first chapter, and twenty-fifth verse, "that God made 
every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind." 

The beast creation that "creepeth upon the earth" is sensual. It is of 
the sensual. We are told in the twenty-sixth verse and first chapter of 
Genesis, "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: 
and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowls 
of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creep- 
ing thing that creepeth upon the earth." Man made in the image of God 
was above the sensual in thought. The dominion given to man over the 
"fish of the sea and the fowls of the air and the earth and over every creep- 
ing thing that creepeth upon the earth," in Genesis, is symbolic. The fish 
of the sea, here, is symbolic of the swimming sensual thoughts in conscious- 
ness. The sea is controlled by the solar system, as is the sex mind. The 
cattle of the earth are sensual, hence man was given dominion in mind and 
thought over them. He was given dominion over the fowls of the air. 
This is symbolic of the fact that man was given dominion over the flying 
sensual thoughts that flow through and into consciousness. He was com- 
manded to have dominion over them. Finally this man made in God's 
image was given dominion over every "creeping thing that creepeth upon 
the earth." The "creeping things" of the earth are sensual. The earth is 
sensual. It is "earth and earthy." It is of the senses and the lobes of the 
brain and the generative organs. Adam is the carnal senses of the physical 
man. These senses of the sensual man creep and crawl in consciousness. 
Man made in God's image was given dominion over them; that is, he was 
spiritual and given domionion over the flesh. 

On the seventh day God completed his work. The material and spirit- 
ual creations were completed. "And God blessed the seventh day and 
sanctified it." This is symbolic of a holy state of thought. It is the 
heavenly number seven. It is that state of mind wherein man has dominion 
over the senses of the lobes of the brain and the generative organs, and all 
that is carnal. It is that state of mind wherein man has dominion "over 
every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth;" that is, it is that state 



—15- 



of mind wherein man has complete dominion over every lust thought of the 
flesh. 

Earth, here, in this account of Genesis, is the same earth that the saints 
are redeemed from, in Revelation. It is the lust of the flesh. It is the 
sensual thoughts of the seven lobes of the brain and the generative organs. 
The saints in Revelation who are "redeemed from the earth" are those "who 
are not defiled by women." They have overcome the lust of the flesh which 
is the earth. The earth here in the account of creation in Genesis is the 
same earth that is in Revelation. It is the flesh. 

God says, in Revelation, he will "destroy those who destroy the earth" 
— that is, he will destroy those who destroy the flesh through lust. The 
earth here in Genesis in the account of creation is the earth in Revelation 
where we are told that those who get the victory over the "earth" (the 
beast) — that is over the flesh — that they shall have dominion over the 
flesh and have eternal life. 

The earth here is the same earth as that at the confusion of tongues at 
the tower of Babel. We are told God came down at the tower of Babel 
and "confused and confounded the language of all the earth". The lang- 
uage of the earth of the tower of Babel was the language of the senses of 
the brain and the generative organs. -It was the language and thought of 
the lust of the flesh. Babel, Babylon and the serpent that deceived Eve, 
all have the same root meaning, and mean the "babbler" or "confusion." 

The senses of the lobes of the brain and the generative organs and their 
thoughts are confusion. 

The root meaning of the word "serpent" that deceived Eve means 
babbler and has the same root meaning as the Hebrew word Babel, and 
Greek, Babylon. The meaning of these words all have the same root mean- 
ing; they mean confusion and the gate to god — that is, the gate to the flesh 
— that is the confusion of the orgasm of the sex act of the senses. 

The orgasm of the sex act, is the gate to the god of the senses or the way 
to the good of the senses. The tower of Babel is within the cells of the 
senses of the brain of every man and woman. jThe city of Babylon and the 
city of Gomorrah, and the city of Sodom, are within the senses of the seven 
lobes of the brain and generative organs of every man and woman. These 
were physical cities, it is true, but the people who lived there were living in a 
state of thought of the senses of the brain and the generative organs. They 
were lustful and carnal. Mentally and Biblically speaking, a city is a state 
of mind. The race is living in Babylon today — that is, in the thought of the 
senses of the brain and generative organs — that is, it is lustful and carnal 
and spiritually dead. 

The senses of the seven lobes of the brain and generative organs — are the 
"earth" into which the Lord God turned man when he fell — that is, Adr,m 



—16- 



and Eve had sexual intercourse and they came into the consciousness of 
the senses of the flesh and died. 

The lust of the flesh is death and this must be overcome before eternal 
life can be obtained. The overcoming of the lust of the flesh is the gospel. 
It is the new mind of the spirit and eternal life. Adam and Eve were told 
that the moment that they partook of the forbidden fruit they should 
know good and evil and should die. The knowledge of evil is death. Evil 
is the senses of the seven lobes of the brain and the generative organs; it is 
the lust of the flesh, and the knowledge of evil must be overcome to obtain 
life. Sickness, sin and death, are within the consciousness of evil, that is 
within the consciousness of the senses of the brain and generative organs, 
which is the consciousness of the lust of the flesh. 

When the consciousness of evil is overcome, that is, when the conscious- 
ness of the flesh is overcome, the consciousness of sickness, sin and death 
are overcome. Our Lord overcame evil — that is, he overcame the senses 
of the flesh, and healed the sick and raised the dead. He was above the 
senses of the flesh in thought. He was so pure that he knew not evil and 
the flesh, and therefore had power over death. 

"The Word was made flesh.' , That is, Jesus was the Son of God in the 
flesh. He was the mind of God in the flesh. He was in the flesh without 
the mind of the flesh, and the Holy Son of God.

CHAPTER II. 

In the fourth chapter of Genesis we have the story of good and evil 
personified in the persons of Cain and Abel. Cain and Abel are symbols 
of good and evil; that is of purity and carnality. The term Abel is from 
the Hebrew, "Hebel" and means Mind, and not Matter. In the original 
it means the non-material. It is the mind free from carnality and the 
love of matter. We are told in Genesis 4:4, that Abel was a keeper of 
sheep. The original reads a"feeder"of sheep. The term "sheep" in the Bible 
is the symbol of purity. It is the symbol of the mind free from the love of 
the flesh. Our Lord said that His sheep knew His voice; that is, those who 
had overcome carnality and lust were pure and understood his Spiritual 
teachings. He told Peter to feed His sheep and His Lambs. That is, to 
feed those who had overcome Lust with Spiritual food. Abel was a feeder 
of sheep. He is the mind of Spiritual understanding, which has overcome 
the lust of the flesh, and feeds the Soul on the Spiritual ideas of the Divine 
Mind. Cain was a tiller of the ground or earth. Ground, or earth, here 
means the carnal senses of the seven lobes of the brain and the senses of 
the generative organs where the seat of Satan is located. "Eve conceived 
and bare Cain, and said "I have gotten a man from the Lord," Genesis 4:1. 
Cain in the original means "acquired." Eve acquired the knowledge of the 
senses of the seven lobes of the brain and the generative organs, when she 
had sexual intercourse. She then became conscious of evil. And evil is the 
consciousness of the senses of the brain and of the generative organs. Eve 
said that she had gotten this knowledge of the Lord. And so does every 
woman who has sexual intercourse and bears a child as the result of lust. 
Every woman since the fall has claimed that the senses are good. But this 
is a lie. All are conceived in lust and sin and must be born again; that is, 
overcome the mind of lust to reach the Kingdom of Heaven — that is to 
reach the Kingdom of Mind purified from the love of matter. The term 
Cain in the original also means "to pierce and to kill." When Adam and 
Eve acquired the knowledge of the senses of the brain and of the generative 
organs, the lust of the flesh penetrated the mind of their consciousness and 
their lives. Cain was a tiller of the soil. The lust mind cultivates the 
senses in thought. Soil here means "earth," or the carnal senses of the brain 
and the generative organs. It is matter. The lust mind cultivates the 
senses. Cain brought forth the fruit of the ground, as an offering unto the 

—18—

Lord. The "fruit of the ground" here is the fruition of lust. Cain's 
offering to the Lord was lust. The Lord had no respect for Cain and his 
offering. The Lord does not respect the offerings of the lust of the flesh. 
It is an abomination in His sight. It is the "abomination of the earth" in 
Revelation. "The abomination of the earth" in Revelation is the abomination 
of the lust of the flesh. Earth in Revelation, as in Genesis, is the senses of 
the seven lobes of the brain and the senses of the generative organs. "And 
Cain was Wroth and his countenance fell." Cain is the sex-mind. Every- 
man's and every woman's countenance falls after sexual intercourse. 
Shame is written in their faces. Every masturbater's countenance falls 
after masturbation. Shame and sin are written on the face. The Virgin, 
pure and undefiled, after sexual intercourse, has shame within her conscious- 
ness. The expression within her eye and upon her face and the tone of her 
voice is never the same again. Her purity and innocency have departed 
from her. "And the Lord said unto Cain why art thou wroth, and why is 
thy countenance fallen?" And the Lord is thus speaking to all of this fallen 
race who have indulged in lust and sin. He said to Adam and to Eve after 
they had indulged sexually "where art thou." They were ashamed and 
their countenances had fallen. And the countenance of all the race has 
fallen through lust. "The Lord said unto Cain if thou doest well shalt thou 
not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at thy door, and unto 
thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him." Gen. 4:7. The term 
"Be accepted" here in the original means to have excellency, and the term 
translated sin means lust. To give this passage its correct meaning in the 
original it should read: "If thou doest well sin or lust thou shalt not 
receive, but if thou doest ill or evil, shalt not sin or lust forthwith be present 
at thy door?" that is in thy consciousness and mind. But if thou doest well 
sin, or lust shall be under thee and thou shalt have dominion over it." 
All who overcome the lust of the flesh have dominion over the Cain mind 
and lust. They have dominion over the earth — that is, over the senses 
of the lobes of the brain and of the generative organs. "Cain talked with 
Abel, his brother; and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that 
Cain rose up against Abel, and slew him." Gen. 4:8. The term "field" 
here is symbolic of the senses. It is the earth; that is, the senses of the lobes 
of the brain and of the generative organs. Cain, which is the lust mind , 
carried Abel, which is the soul, or the mind of purity, into the consciousness 
of the senses, and there slew him. The lust of the flesh always kills the 
Spiritual life of the soul. Carnality is death to purity. Cain was told that 
he should be a fugitive and a vagabond on the earth. The earth here is the 
senses, and the Cain mind is of the senses. Cain said unto the Lord "my 
punishment is greater than I can bear." The original reads, "Mine iniquity 
is greater than that may be forgiven." Cain said the Lord had driven him 



—21- 



out from the face of the earth. "And from Thy face shall I be hid; and I 
shall be a fugitive and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass 
that everyone that findeth me shall slay me. And the Lord said unto him, 
therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance shall be taken on him seven 
fold. And the Lord set a mark on Cain, lest any rinding him should kill 
him. ,, Gen. 4:14-15. All who indulge lust have their faces hidden from 
the Lord as did Cain, and they are vagabonds upon the earth; that is, 
vagabonds in the senses of the flesh. The thought of the race is ashamed 
of lust and wants to destroy the Cain mind and to crush the serpent's 
head. All who find the lust state of consciousness slay themselves by in- 
dulging lust. The Lord said "Whosoever slayeth Cain vengeance shall be 
taken on him seven fold." The Cain, or lust mind, is self destruction and 
all who indulge destroy themselves. 

There are seven lobes of the brain where the senses and the seat of 
passion are located. This is the seat of Satan in Revelation. All who 
indulge the lust-mind shall have vengeance taken on him "seven fold." 
The seven fold here is the senses of the seven lobes of the brain where the 
Cain mind is located. It is all sin. It is complete sin. All who indulge 
the lust of the flesh or the Cain-mind are destroyed by the law of vengeance 
of the senses of the seven lobes of the brain. The senses of these seven 
lobes of the brain are the seven devils which Our Lord cast out of Mary 
Magdalene. She was all sin. Seven is the earthly number for complete sin, 
for there are seven lobes of the brain where the senses of the flesh are located. 
Seven is also a Heavenly number. That is the complete overcoming of the 
senses of the seven lobes of the brain in thought and consciousness. The 
Lord set a mark upon Cain lest any finding him should kill him. The 
Cain, or lust-mind, is marked everywhere in nature. All who indulge the 
lust of the flesh carry it upon their faces. Sin is written upon their faces and 
in the eye. Lust is the father of syphilis and gonorrhea and leprosy, and 
they in turn produce the other constitutional diseases of the race as their 
by-products. Sores, blindness and deafness, insanity and other diseases 
are the marks of the Cain mind. "And Cain went out from the presence 
of the Lord, and dwelt in the Land of Nod, upon the East of Eden. And 
Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bare Enoch; and he builded a city 
and called the name of the city, after the name of his son Enoch." Gen. 
4:16, 17. The term "Nod" here in the original means to "Wander." It is 
the land of the senses of the seven lobes of the brain and of the generative 
organs. It is carnality and lust in thought. The Cain, or lust mind, leaves 
the presence of the Lord when it goes into the land of the senses. The 
presence of the Lord is Spiritual understanding and Light. The land of 
Nod is the land of the senses and darkness. Every man and woman goes 
into this land of the senses when they marry and copulate. Marrying 

—22— 



does not change this law of lust. All sex indulgence between the sexes 
is in the land of Nod. It is of the senses, darkness and death. 

The city that Cain builded and named after his son Enoch is the same 
city that every natural father and mother builds who bring forth a natural 
child. It is the city of sex-worship in which they reproduce their carnal and 
fleshy selves. It is the city of the senses of the seven lobes of the brain and 
the generative organs reproducing the natural man. It is not a spiritual city 
and a Heavenly city, but a carnal city. It is the city of human ties, blood 
relation and human selfishness, and within this city is born the conflict and 
strife of the race, as well as the diseases and insanity of the race, and in this 
city human propagation goes on and is perpetrated. It is the city of car- 
nality. It is the city of Babylon and the Tower of Babel as recorded in 
the first five verses of the eleventh chapter of Genesis. In the first five 
verses eleventh chapter of Genesis we have recorded the building of a city. 
It is the city of the orgasm of the sex act. It is the city of the senses, 
and it resulted in the confusion of the senses. They undertook to reach 
God, that is, heaven through the senses, and it resulted in evil and confusion. 
The Tower of Babel that they builded was within the senses of the seven 
lobes of the brain and the generative organs. It was the orgasm of the 
sex act. This is the city of Babylon. This is the same city David refers 
to in the 137th Psalm, when he said "They that wasted us required of us 
mirth, saying sing us one of the songs of Zion. How shall we sing the 
Lord's song in a strange land?" The word here translated "wasted" in 
the original means "laid us on heaps." David in the 137th Psalm was 
down in Babylon which is the city of the senses of the seven lobes of the 
brain and of the generative organs. This city has wasted all the race and 
laid all the race on heaps. It is the city in which syphilis, gonorrea, leprosy, 
insanity and the diseases of the race are produced. In this strange land of 
the senses you cannot sing a song of Zion. There is no soul purity in this 
city of carnality. This is the city they builded in the 11th chapter of 
Genesis and the Tower of Babel that they constructed. It is the con- 
fusion of the senses and the evil of the lust of the flesh. It is the city that 
Cain builded when he begot him a son, and it is the city that every man and 
woman builds within his or her consciousness when he or she indulges the 
lust of the flesh. 

It is the city of death. We are told in Genesis the fourth chapter and 
fourth verse "that Abel brought of the firstlings of his flock and the fat 
thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering." The 
term here translated "flock" in the original reads sheep. Sheep in the 
Bible is the symbol of humility and purity. He is the symbol of the mind 
purified from the lust of the flesh. Those who have purified minds are the 
Lord's sheep whom our Lord says "hear His voice." They have overcome 

—23— 



the lust of the flesh and are the children of God. Their offering is purity, 
and this offering is acceptable unto the Lord. This is the city of Jerusalem. 
It is the city of the mind purified from the lust of the flesh. It is the 
opposite of the city of Babylon, which is the city of the senses of the seven 
lobes of the brain and of the generative organs. Our Lord referred to Abel 
as ''Righteous Abel." "Righteousness" is the mind free from the lust of 
the flesh. The Righteous mind is the mind that has overcome the lust of 
the flesh. St. John refers to Cain as the "wicked one." The "wicked one" 
is satanic in nature. "Wickedness" is the lust of the flesh. It is the 
orgasm of the sex act in thought and act. "Wickedness" is of the senses 
of the seven lobes of the brain and of the generative organs. It is the 
"earth" of the Bible. Our Lord said "If I be lifted up from the earth I 
will draw all men unto me." He was lifted up from the earth on Calvary. 
He died unto the senses on Calvary, and came forth from the death of the 
love of the senses on the morning of the Resurrection, and He is drawing 
all men unto him who will crucify the lust of the flesh and follow him in 
purity and righteousness in thought and act. In the symbols of Cain 
and Abel we have the symbols of good and evil of the Bible. Good is 
purity. It is the mind liberated from the love of the flesh. Evil is the 
lust of the flesh. It is within the lobes of the senses of the brain and in the 
generative organs. Seven in the Bible, carnally speaking, is the symbol 
of the senses of the seven lobes of the brain and the generative organs. 
The idea is brought out in Luke 17:4. Our Lord said, "and if he trespass 
against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, 
saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him." All trespass, iniquity, and sin, 
are of the senses of the seven lobes of the brain. Sin is the human mind. 
Carnally speaking, seven is symbolic of complete sin. When complete 
sin, that is, all that is of the carnal senses of the seven lobes of the brain, is 
overcome, a state of purity and a Heavenly state of thought is reached. 
Seven, Heavenly speaking, is the complete overcoming of the senses of the 
seven lobes of the brain in thought. So our Lord says if you are sinned 
against seven times, and he that sins against you repent seven times, to 
forgive. The sinning party has turned from the flesh to a Heavenly state 
of thought. This is the lesson of Luke 17:4. Again in Matt. 1.8: 
21, 22, when Peter asked our Lord, shall he forgive his brother seven times 
who has sinned against him seven times, and our Lord replied to Peter to 
forgive not only seven times but seventy times seven. The number seven 
here is used as a symbol of complete sin as a law of the flesh and as com- 
plete purity as a Heavenly Law. There are seven lobes of the brain and all 
sin is located in the love of the senses of the seven lobes of the brain and the 
generative organs. This is seven as an earthly number. When the love 
of the senses of the seven lobes of the brain and the generative organs are 



—24- 



overcome completely, the mind becomes pure, and seven, as a Heavenly 
number, is symbolic of this state of thought. In Matt. 12: 43-45 this idea 
is clearly brought out. There we have the unclean spirit, which had gone 
out of the man, returning unto the man from which he went out, and taking 
with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and the last state 
of that man was worse than the first. Here we have the lesson where the 
man had overcome evil; that is, the love of the senses of the seven lobes of 
the brain and the generative organs but did not cultivate his spiritual 
state of thought, and victory over lust and evil, but permitted evil to return 
into his thought and consciousness, and his last state was worse than the 
first. Complete sin returned. All of the senses of the seven lobes of the 
brain unfolded into his consciousness and thought. He was completely 
possessed with lust and the love of the flesh. 

Our Lord said to the Pharisees and Sadducees, "Oh ye hypocrites, ye can 
discern the face of the sky." Matt. 16:3. The seasons and the law of the 
solar system are discerned through the senses of the seven lobes of the 
brain and the generative organs. The Pharisees and Sadducees were living 
within the consciousness of the senses and could discern the seasons, but 
they could not discern the Spirit of Truth. Error is within the senses. 
Truth is of the mind free from the senses. To discern the Truth you must 
be free from the senses in thought. Lust and idolatry are of the senses. 
Truth is purity, and purity is the mind free from the senses. The Priests 
and Scribes could not understand the teachings of our Lord because they were 
living within the senses in thought. Idolatry, witchcraft, and divination, 
are within the senses of the seven lobes of the brain and the generative 
organs, and are controlled by the solar system. When the senses of the 
seven lobes of the brain and the generative organs are completely overcome 
in thought, the stars will fall and the firmament will roll away like a scroll, 
to our minds and consciousness. This is the end of time. We are then in 
Eternity in thought. We then have no consciousness of the senses, and 
shall know the Father -as the only true God, and as Life Eternal. Our 
Lord said unto the woman at Jacob's well, "Ye worship ye know not what; 
we know what we worship; for salvation is of the Jews." John 4:22. The 
woman, at Jacob's well was worshipping the senses. She had five husbands, 
see John 4:18. She was living for the love of the senses of the seven lobes 
of the brain and of the generative organs, and the sex-act was her god. 
This fallen race is in the same state of consciousness as the. woman at 
Jacob's well. It is living for the love of the senses. As a race it is 
worshipping the god of lust,and as a race it does not know what it worships. 
It is in a state of confusion and strife as a result of the love of the senses. Our 
Lord said salvation is of the Jews. The true Jew is one who has overcome 
the love of the senses and knows God as spirit and Life Eternal. St. Paul 

—25— 



says "The Jew is one who has been circumcised inwardly." That is one 
who has overcome the lust of the flesh and the love of the senses. 

The woman at Jacob's well said to our Lord "Our fathers worshipped 
in this mountain; and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where men 
ought to worship." John 4:20. Jerusalem is the city of soul purity. It is 
that state of mind wherein the mind has overcome the love of the senses and 
worships God as Spirit unto Life Eternal. The worship of the senses and 
the love of the flesh is death. When Adam and Eve acquired the con- 
sciousness of the senses through the sex act they died. It is the knowledge 
of evil that produces death. To know evil is to worship the senses, and 
this is death. David brings out this idea in the 8th Psalm, fifth verse. 
"For in death there is no remembrance of thee; in the grave who shall 
give thee thanks." It was the knowledge of evil and the worship of the 
senses through the sex act that produced death, and returned the material 
body to dust, and caused the soul to no longer be in the image of God. In 
the consciousness of the senses there is no remembrance of God. In this 
state of consciousness we only love the flesh and the material body returns 
to dust as the result. The mind in this state of thought, which returns the 
body to dust, does not give God thanks. We only give God thanks as we 
overcome the love of the senses and worship God as Spirit. David brings 
out this idea in the 30th Psalm, ninth verse, when he says, "What profit is 
there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise Thee? 
Shall it declare Thy truth?" Our Lord said, "Flesh and blood cannot 
inherit the kingdom of Heaven." He agreed with David that there is no 
profit in the blood when it goes down to the pit, and that the dust cannot 
praise God, and that it cannot declare the Truth of God. Flesh and blood 
are of the senses. They are of the lust of the flesh; they cannot declare the 
Truth of God. Only the mind that has overcome lust can declare the truth 
of God. As we overcome the senses, and the love of the lust of the flesh, 
we declare the Truth of God in our own thoughts. When we shall com- 
pletely overcome the senses and the love of the flesh in mind and thought 
we shall know God as the only True God unto Life Eternal. 

Man had complete consciousness of God, and was in the image of God, 
and had Life until he acquired the knowledge of the senses, which is the 
Cain mind through the sex act. Then man lost the complete conscious- 
ness of God and came into the knowledge of the senses of the seven lobes 
of the brain and died. The senses of the seven lobes of the brain and of 
the generative organs is the earth that man was told "to be fruitful, multi- 
ply, increase, refill (the earth), and have dominion over it." But man 
failed to keep this command. He did not have dominion over the 
senses; that is, the earth, but yielded to the senses and died. Man made 
in th£ image of God is not matter, but mind. The mind yielded to the 



—26- 



senses and came into the consciousness of evil and died. Eve said the 
serpent deceived her. The word here translated Serpent in the original 
means "babbler," and has the same root meaning as Babel and Babylon, 
and means confusion, and the gate or way to god. It is the way to the 
good (or god) of the senses; that is the orgasm of the sex act. It is the 
god of lust. This babbler is the senses of the generative organs and the 
seven lobes of the brain talking to the consciousness. It is in the con- 
sciousness of every human being at puberty. The girl as she comes into 
puberty manifests the consciousness of this babbler in her dress, manner 
and thought. What she wears is the expression of her state of conscious- 
ness. The idea, which is within her thought; is manifested in her head 
gear and what she has on her person. The state of consciousness is ex- 
pressed in the dress. As the girl comes into puberty, the mammary glands 
begin to develop. Her ovaries begin to develop, and the sensual senses of 
her brain develop, and Satan is manifest in thought through the talking of 
the senses of the serpent in her consciousness. She then begins to become 
deceitful, silly, proud and vain. Her dress manifests this state of thought. 
That, which she wears, is the expression of the serpent in her con- 
sciousness. These senses of the seven lobes of the brain and the gener- 
ative organs manifested in consciousness are "the other gods" of the first 
commandment. God said in the first commandment "Thou shalt have 
no other gods before Me." That is, thou shalt not have the gods of the 
senses in consciousness, and shall not give them preference in thought to 
the God of Spirit. As we abolish these gods of the senses from thought we 
come into the consciousness of the true God of Spirit as Life Eternal. As 
we come into the consciousness of the senses of the flesh, we are conscious 
of the false gods and lose the consciousness of the True God of Spirit, and 
die Spiritually. The senses of the generative organs and the senses of the 
seven lobes of the brain are one in thought and consciousness, and they 
constitute the "other gods" of the first commandment, and they must be 
abolished from consciousness to obtain the true God of Spirit. As we yield 
to these other gods, which are the gods of the senses of the brain and the 
generative organs, we go into evil ways, and violate all the other nine com- 
mandments. Selfishness is of the senses of the brain and the generative 
organs. He, who is in the state of the senses, loves himself supremely. He 
is selfish and does not love his neighbor as himself. He who is within the 
state of the senses will commit murder, adultery, steal, and covet that which 
belongs to his neighbor. He will violate all the Ten Commandments. He 
has other gods before him, in thought. He is not conscious of the True 
God of Spirit. He is living in the state of the senses of the brain and the 
generative organs, and loves the flesh and hates the True God of Spirit. 
This is true of both sexes. The sex act is their god, and they live for all 



-27- 



the other gods of the senses — lust, vanity, pride, jealousy, ambition, greed 
and every evil that is within the consciousness of the flesh. These gods of 
the senses are false gods — they are liars. Eve said that they lied to her. 
She said they deceived her. They have deceived every man and woman 
who have indulged the sex act and lived for them. Our Lord, speaking of 
this serpent which deceived Eve, which is the babbler of the senses of the 
brain and generative organs, said, "Ye are of your father, the devil, and the 
lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, 
and abode not in the Truth, because there is no truth in him. When he 
speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own, for he is a liar and the father of it." 
John 8:44. The devil, here, is the same serpent that deceived Eve. It is 
the lust of the senses of the generative organs and the seven lobes of the 
brain. It is the sex act, and all the evils that come out of the love of the 
flesh. It is the Cain mind, and the Cain mind is the acquired knowledge 
of the senses which is gained through the sex act. And this knowledge of 
the senses gained through the sex act is death in it's nature. The Cain 
mind is death. Our Lord said the devil was a murderer from the beginning. 
Lust was the origin of death. This mind of lust abode not in the Truth 
and is therefore death, for God is Truth and Life. Our Lord says, that 
when the devil "speaketh a lie he speaketh of his own for he is a liar and 
the father of it." The senses are liars, and there is no Truth in them, for 
they are not of God, who is Truth. They manifest the mind of the fallen 
spirits whom God cast down to Hell for having sinned. Hell is the love of 
the flesh and death. There is no Truth and Life in the state of mind of 
these fallen spirits and in the love of the flesh. Death and Hell are within 
the consciousness of the senses of the seven lobes of the brain and the 
generative organs of every man and woman, and the senses and the love of 
the flesh must be overcome for us to obtain a knowledge of the True God, 
who is Spirit and Life Eternal. We are told in Revelation that "there shall 
in no wise enter into it (the Holy City of the New Jerusalem) anything that 
defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination or maketh a lie." Rev. 
21:27. All defilement is of the lust of the flesh. The diseases of the race 
have their origin in lust. Whatsoever worketh "abomination in the sight 
of God" is of the lust of the flesh. That which maketh a lie is of lust. It 
was the orgasm of the sex act that deceived Eve, and she said it was a lie. 
All that is of the senses is a lie. All that is in and of the senses of the s:ven 
lobes of the brain and the generative organs is a lie. There is no Truth in 
matter. All that is of the senses and matter must be overcome to enter 
the Holy City. The lust of the flesh must be overcome to enter Heaven. 
For none can enter this Holy State except "those whose names are written 
in the Lamb's Book of Life," and we only obtain this Holy state of thought 
and Divine consciousness when the lust of the flesh is completely overcome. 



—28- 



We are told in Genesis, when Adam and Eve indulged sexually and died, 
that God "cursed the earth." "Earth" here means the flesh. It is the 
senses of the seven lobes of the brain and the generative organs. This was 
the beginning of disease and death. We are told in the Holy Scriptures 
"that dust shall be the serpent's meat." "Dust," here, is the flesh of the 
natural man. Adam was told he was "taken from dust and unto dust he 
should return." For having sinned and indulged in the lust of the sex act 
his flesh became "meat" for the serpent. The serpent, here, is the mind 
of lust, and this mind of the love of the flesh generates the Syphilitic germ, 
and the flesh of the human man and woman becomes meat for the serpent 
of the Syphilitic germ. If you will place the Syphilitic germ under the 
microscope you will see it is similar to the serpent. It has the serpent 
move and motion. Everything in nature is symbolic of thought. The 
serpent that crawls upon the ground is symbolic of the low and degraded 
state of the thought of the lust of the flesh. The Syphilitic germ, as it goes 
swimming and creeping in the cells of the blood, poisoning and destroying 
the flesh of the human body is symbolic of the low and degraded state of 
the mind of lust. In the last states of Syphilis, rings and sores come upon 
the human body almost similar to the serpent in shape and form. The 
love of the senses of the generative organs and brain, which is sex passion, 
generates the syphilitic germ, and the germ, in turn, attacks the nervous 
system, the brain and the generative organs. It eats away the nerve 
centers of the brain and produces all forms of insanity. It eats holes into 
and then eats away the generative organs. Finally, it eats into the human 
body in all manner and forms and the entire human body becomes meat for 
the serpent. Again we are told in the Holy Scriptures that the Lord God 
"cursed the earth," and said "it should bring forth thorns and thistles." 
See Gen. 3:17, 18. This curse was because Adam and Eve had eaten of the 
tree of forbidden fruit. The "thorns and thistles" that it was to bring forth as 
a result of the curse is symbolic. The ground is symbolic of the flesh of the 
human body. It is the flesh of the human body. Adam was told that 
"he was taken from dust and unto dust he should return." This curse 
was pronounced as the result of lust and sin. The thorns and thistles that 
the earth brings forth that are poisonous are symbolic of the poison of the 
mind of the lust of the flesh. The "thorns" here, are the same thorns 
which St. Paul spoke of as "the thorns of the flesh." They are the thorns 
of lust and sex-passion. The word here translated "thistles" in the original 
means "stingers." It is the stingers produced by the lust of the flesh. It 
is the syphilitic germ that goes coursing through the veins and arteries 
of the human body stinging like the serpent bite unto death. Adam was 
told after the fall that he should eat of the herbs of the field. "Field," 
here, means Earth or the senses of the carnal man. The natural man lives 

—29— 



for the senses and lust. The herbs that mother earth brings forth feeds 
him physically that he may indulge his lust. This is all symbolic x of the 
lust appetites of the natural man. The appetites of the natural man are 
death. Lust produces diseases and death. The lust of the flesh cannot 
enter the Holy City and the presence of God. In Revelation 22:15 we are 
told "For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murder- 
ers and idolaters, and whomsoever loveth and maketh a lie.'' There will be 
no dog lovers in Heaven. The dog is a very low type of the sensual thought. 
We know in all ages since the fall there have been women so degraded as 
to use dogs for sexual purposes. The mind in this degraded state of thought 
cannot know God. The mind that has descended to this degraded thought 
must overcome it before it can enter the Holy City and know God. St. 
Paul brings out this same idea in the third chapter, second verse of Philip- 
pians when he says "Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the 
concision." St. Paul in First Cor. 6:9, when he says, "Know ye not that 
the unrighteous shall not inherit the Kingdom of God.", has this idea in 
mind. Continuing in the same verse and the tenth verse of the same 
chapter he defines the unrighteous. He says, "Be not deceived; neither 
fornicators, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with 
mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor ex- 
tortioners, shall inherit the Kingdom of God." All these things that St. 
Paul defines as "unrighteousness" and that cannot inheftt the Kingdom of 
God have their origin in the seven lobes of the brain and in the senses of 
the generative organs. They are the lust of the flesh. Drugs stimulate 
the senses and stimulate sex passion. Liquor excites the sex passion. The 
effeminate is one who loves his own sex with carnal love and sex desire. 
The abusers of themselves with mankind are those who have sexual inter- 
course with their own sex. Thievery and greed are within the sensual 
mind. All the things therefore that St. Paul says constitute "unrighteous- 
ness" and cannot inherit the Kingdom of God are of the senses and the sex 
mind. Sorcery is of the senses. It is within the senses of the seven lobes 
of the brain and the generative organs. Whoremongery is within the 
senses of the brain and so is murder and so is idolatry. Whosoever loveth 
a lie loveth the senses, for the senses are liars. We are told in Rev. 22:15, 
that none of these conditions of thought can enter the Holy City. Every- 
thing that is of the senses is a lie, and nothing can enter the Holy City 
except the Truth. Every thought of the sensual mind must be overcome 
before we can see God "face to face" and enter the Holy City. No human 
law can change this Divine Law of God, hence our Lord said, "The children 
of this world marry and are given in marriage; but they which shall be 
accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the 
dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage; neither can they die any 



-30- 



more, for they are equal unto the Angels ; and are the children of God, being 
of the children of the Resurrection." Luke 20:34, 35. When they have 
been resurrected from the lust of the flesh they do not marry and cannot 
die any more. Marriage is of the senses of the seven lobes of the brain and 
generative organs and nothing that is sensual can enter Heaven. All that is 
of the senses is a lie, and a lie cannot enter the city of God. Adam said that 
"this is bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh," referring to Eve. God did not 
say this. Every man, who has had sexual intercourse with a woman, and 
they were polarized, sexually, has said this to his carnal nature, but his soul 
knows that he has been through Spiritual death. When the love of the 
flesh is overcome, they marry and propagate no more in the flesh nor do 
they die any more. In Genesis we are told that the serpent which deceived 
Eve was more subtile than any beast of the field which the Lord God had 
made. The serpent that deceived Eve was the senses of her generative 
organs and brain talking to her consciousness. The beast of the field here 
is the sex-senses of the animal creation. "Field," means earth, and is 
symbolic of the senses of the animal creation. The sex senses of man is 
more deceptive and beastful than the sex-senses of the lower animal crea- 
tion. The sex-senses of the woman is more cunning than the sex-senses 
of the lower animal creation, hence man and woman can fall lower and 
become more depraved than the lower animal creation. Men and women 
will masturbate at all times during all seasons of the year, but the lower 
animal creation will only masturbate during the mating season. Men and 
women will copulate at any season and at all times, but the lower animal 
creation will only copulate during the mating season. The husband will 
copulate with his wife after she has become pregnant. The male of the 
lower animal creation will not copulate with his female mate after she 
becomes pregnant. In truth, and indeed, the serpent that deceived Eve was 
more subtile than any beast the Lord God had made. Indeed, and in 
truth, did our Saviour say to the Scribes and Pharisees, "Oh ye vipers and 
serpents." 

David defines the senses of the brain and generative organs as the 
"wicked and his enemies." David had been in the city of Babylon. He 
had yielded to the senses and lust and death, but he always came back to 
his God. He returned with a contrite heart to his Lord. In the 27th 
Psalm, first and second verses, David says, "The Lord is my light and my 
salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom 
shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came 
upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell." David's "enemies 
and foes" were the senses of the seven lobes of the brain and the generative 
organs — they were lust. Lust consumes and destroyes man. It "eats up 
his flesh." It produces the diseases that destroys his mind and body. 



-31- 



David overcame through the God of Truth. The enemies and the foes 
of David are in every man and woman. They are the sex-senses of the 
brain and generative organs. They are lust. But through the Christ, all 
can overcome, and our enemies, which is the lust of the flesh, shall stumble 
and fall, as they stumbled and fell with David. Masturbation destroys the 
nerve cells of the brain. The young, who masturbate, cannot expect to 
develop into full and sound men and women. They frequently die of 
softening of the brain in middle life. If they continue the practice they 
will fill insane asylums or premature graves. Sex indulgence weakens the 
mind and the nervous system. Over sex indulgence will destroy both mind 
and body. The law of the serpent is death. These carnal desires were 
the enemies of David. They are the enemies of all the race and must be 
overcome through the Christ. Sex suppression does not save, but the 
overcoming of lust does save, and purines the mind so as to behold God 
"face to face." 

Since the author wrote his first books on the Bible, we have had related 
to us many experiences of men and women who have read them and their 
efforts to overcome the lust of the flesh, and their previous contracted 
degeneracies. One day a young man came to me some twenty-seven years 
of age. He said he had been practicing self abuse since he was about six- 
teen years of age, and since knowing of the idea contained in my books on 
the Bible, he had been trying to overcome this destructive practice. He 
said he had found it hard. The custom had become a fixed part of his 
thought. He said he had been able at times to cease from this practice and 
then it would grasp him again, and he would commit the act. He said he 
was gradually gaining the victory over this degraded state of thought but 
the battle was hard. He said he knew it would finally destroy him and 
send him to a premature grave or the insane asylum if he did not get the 
victory over the enemy. He wanted advice as to how to gain the victory. 
I told him, every time this thought came into his consciousness to throw it 
out of thought, as repulsive and offensive, and to hold the mental picture of 
Jesus the Savior in his mind and to think of the Holy Son of God, and all 
that is righteous and Holy. That this mental state of righteousness would 
help him to gain the victory over the degraded state of thought and the 
enemy that was destroying him. And I here give this same advice to every 
man and woman who reads these pages and are destroying themselves 
through self abuse. And I say to the fallen woman, that if you have pros- 
tituted your body, to behold the Son of God as your Savior and to cease 
now from the sin and lust that must in the end curse your body and soul. 
The Savior who came here in the flesh came to save you, and if you will 
turn from lust to Holiness, you shall gain the victory over the enemy, 
and live as a child of God. I say to every man and woman who reads these 



-32- 



pages, that you must finally overcome lust to get into the Kingdom of 
Heaven. There is no other way that leads to Life Eternal. All that is 
sensual must be overcome for us to behold the Heavenly Father. I here 
say to parents that it is your duty to bring up your children in the "fear of 
the Lord," and when they are old they will not depart from the way. And 
to bring them up "in the fear of the Lord" is to instruct them in the nature 
of sin, and that it is the lust of the flesh, and that they shall not abuse their 
bodies through self abuse. They should be instructed that their bodies 
are the temples of the Living God. And that these temples are not to be 
abused and destroyed by the lust of the flesh. In every house, or place of 
Christian worship the third chapter and ninth verse of the First Epistle of 
St. John should be placed in large letters in a room, and all who are of 
mature years and old enough to understand, and who attend the place of wor- 
ship, should go in and read it as a part of each worship. The Saintly John here 
says, "Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth 
in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God." This should be a part 
of the worship of every meeting of Saints. The Saints are those who have 
not suppressed sex, but have overcome lust and retained the sex seed through 
purity of thought. If those who read my books on the Bible, in days and 
generations to come, should ever form themselves into an organization to 
worship God, I hope they will place this passage of Scripture where all who 
attend worship may read it. Again, St. Paul says, "the body is the temple 
of the Living God." This passage from St. Paul should be placed in every 
place of divine worship, and under it should be written, "Thou shalt not 
defile the body through the lust of the flesh for it is the Temple of the Liv- 
ing God." If those who read my books on the Bible should ever form 
themselves into an organization for Divine worship, I trust that they will 
place in their places of worship this quotation from St. Paul with the in- 
structions written under it — "that thou shalt not defile the body with the 
lust of the flesh." The quotation from St. Paul should be on the walls of 
every Christian home. I trust that those who believe in my writings on 
the Bible, as each generation comes and goes, will see that they are printed 
and circulated to the end that the people may be educated in the nature of 
sin, and that the lust of the flesh must be overcome for the Kingdom of God 
to come. I trust that those who have money, and believe in these books, 
will see that they are printed and circulated among the poor who are not 
able to purchase them. I commit the destiny of these books to the keeping 
of those who may believe in them as each generation comes. And may the 
Spirit of the Christ guide them and direct them to see that the books are 
printed and circulated among the people, so that men and women may be 
taught everywhere, that the lust of the flesh is death. In Revelation 14:14, 
we are told that St. John saw the "Son of Man, having on his head a golden 

—33— 



crown." Gold is the symbol of purity. Gold is the hardest metal to 
adulterate with other metals. Gold is the symbol of the mind that has 
overcome the lust of the flesh and is free from the flesh, and is not adulter- 
ated with, nor influenced by, nor controlled by, the flesh. Gold is the 
symbol of the mind in the image of the Father, and pure and free from the 
lust of the flesh. Our divine Lord overcame, and He says that all who 
overcome, as He overcame, "shall inherit all things." If our souls would 
be pure and prepared to be joint heirs with Him to the Kingdom of God, 
we must overcome the lust of the flesh' as he overcame it. He said while 
here in the flesh, that all those who would be His disciples "must take up 
their cross daily, and follow Him." This daily cross is the daily task of 
overcoming the lust of the flesh. It is the walking with him daily in the 
thought of purity. His cross must be borne by us all, to reach the King- 
dom of Heaven. We must abide with Him every moment in thought and 
consciousness, if we would daily take up our cross and follow Him, and 
overcome as He overcame, and inherit all things. In the first chapter, 
thirteenth verse of Revelation St. John tells us that he saw "one like unto 
the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about 
the paps with a golden girdle." The paps, the generative organs (loins) 
and the brain, is where the sensual senses are located. Our Lord had over- 
come the lust of the flesh, and the Golden girdle about the paps, that St. John 
saw, was symbolic of His Holiness and Purity and Divine character. None 
can become joint heirs with him to the Kingdom of God, except those who 
overcome lust, as He overcame.

CHAPTER III. 

"For David himself said by the Holy Ghost, the Lord said to my Lord, 
sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool. " Mark 
12:36. The Lord here is God, the Father, and "my Lord" to whom Dav-d, 
refers, is Jesus, the Christ. The Father said, "sit thou on my right han d, 
till I make thine enemies thy footstool." The enemies of the Son of God 
were the senses of the flesh. The senses of the flesh, which are the enemies 
of holiness, are located within the cells of the brain and the sex senses of 
the generative organs. These senses of the flesh are the enemies of the 
soul of every human being. Our Lord made them his "footstool," that is, 
he overcame them in thought, and we must overcome them, as he over- 
came them, if we would be the children of God. "The right hand of the 
Father," is the completely overcoming the lust of the flesh, and thereby 
becoming conscious of God, as the true God, and life eternal. The Father 
said to the Son, "Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy 
footstool," that is, he granted unto the Son the power of complete spiritual 
understanding of himself, as the Father, and the true God of Spirit and Life, 
and by the power of this spiritual understanding of the Father as Spirit, 
the Son overcame the senses of the flesh, and made them his footstool. He 
overcame the lust of the flesh completely, and put every thought of the 
lust of the flesh, out of consciousness. This made him "the resurrection 
and the life." Hence, he said, "for when they shall rise from the dead, 
they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which 
are in heaven." Mark 12:25. It was the lust of the flesh that produced 
death. The consciousness of the sex act, was the cause of death. Hence, 
when the lust of the flesh is overcome, there is no death. This is the resur- 
rection, and the restoration of Life Eternal. Hence our Lord, said "and 
as touching the dead, that they rise; have ye not read in the book of Moses, 
how in the bush God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham 
and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? He is not the God of the 
dead, but the God of the living; ye therefore do greatly err." Mark 12:26, 27. 

Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob's physical bodies, had not been materially 
resurrected, but they had been resurrected from the love of the senses of 
the flesh. They had been resurrected mentally from the lust of the love 
of the flesh. Their minds had been purified from the lust of the flesh, and 
this made them the children of God. They had overcome the conscious- 

—37— 



ness of matter and this made God their Father, and gave them life eternal. 
"For he is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living." They were 
in heaven — that is, in a state of spiritual purity, which is life eternal. 
There will be no marrying, or giving in marriage, in heaven, because there 
will be no consciousness of matter and no love of the flesh there. There 
will be no lust there, in mind and thought. "Whosoever maketh a lie,' ' 
cannot enter there; and all that is of the flesh, is a lie. Eve said the serpent 
lied to her, and our Lord said, "He is the father of liars. " St. John, in 
Revelation tells us "that the devil is that old serpent, the dragon." It was 
this serpent that deceived Eve, and he is located in the cells of the brain, 
and the lust senses of the generative organs. This is the "seat of Satan," 
spoken of in Revelation. This serpent, which is the old dragon and the 
devil, is a lie and the father of it, and our Lord says, "He was a murderer 
from the beginning." He is the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the flesh 
is a lie and death. There is no death, in heaven. It is eternal life there. 
Hence, the lust of the flesh cannot enter heaven. Therefore, our Lord 
said, "that in heaven they neither marry nor are given in marriage." We 
are told in Revelation, "that nothing that defileth,can enter the Holy City." 
The lust of the flesh "defile th." The sores and diseases of the race come 
from the lust of the flesh, hence every thought of the lust of the flesh must be 
overcome, in consciousness, before the soul can enter heaven and the pres- 
ence of God. 

We are told in Revelation, that nothing which is "unclean," can enter 
the Holy City. The lust of the flesh is unclean. We are taught in the 
Mosaic law, that the lust of the flesh is "unclean." From the lust of the flesh 
come the plagues, sores, insanity, and diseases of the race. Hence, the lust 
of the flesh must be overcome, in mind and in thought, before the soul can 
enter the Holy City of spiritual purity, and the conscious presence of God, 
as Spirit. For we are taught in Revelation that "there will be no sorrow, 
no suffering, and no pain" in heaven. For "God shall wipe away all tears." 
All the suffering, sorrow, pain, and tears of the race, had their origin through 
the serpent that deceived Eve. The lust of the flesh, produced them all, 
and when the lust of the flesh shall have been overcome, in mind and con- 
sciousness, they shall be no more, and "God shall wipe away all tears." 
Then "they neither marry nor are given in marriage, and shall die no more." 
Then the lust of the flesh, which is death and the last enemy, shall have 
been overcome. 

"And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all 
thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. This is the first 
commandment. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy 
neighbor as thy self. There is none other commandment greater than 
these." Mark 12:30, 31. To love the Lord, thy God, with all thy heart, 

—38— 



and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength, is to 
completely overcome the love of the carnal senses, and the lust of the flesh 
in mind and thought. God is too holy to behold evil, and we cannot love 
Him with evil within our minds and thoughts. Evil is the lust of the 
flesh. It was lust that caused Adam and Eve to become conscious of evil 
and to die, and we must overcome the lust of the flesh to overcome evil and 
death, and to love God with all our hearts and minds, and to obtain life 
eternal. All that is sensual is selfish and non-holy. The senses are selfish- 
ness. The carnal mind is selfish. The sex thought is selfish. Parents 
worship themselves through their natural offspring. Blood relatives love 
each other with a carnal love. This is the law of selfishness and the law of 
the senses. 

All love of the senses is selfishness. The sex act is selfishness and 
death, and it is of the senses and the serpent mind. Hence, when we shall 
have overcome the lust of the flesh, and our minds are pure and we have no 
carnal desire and carnal thoughts, we shall have overcome selfishness, and 
love our neighbors as ourselves. This is purity. This is Christianity. 
This is life eternal. For in this state of consciousness, we have no desire 
for the love of the lust of the flesh, and "neither marry, nor are given in 
marriage, and can die no more;" for we are the children of God; and love 
the Lord God with all our hearts, with all our souls, with all our minds, 
with all our strength, and our neighbors as ourselves. In this state of mind 
and consciousness, we are brethren in the spiritual kingdom, and are the 
children of God, and have no desire to gratify the lust of the flesh through 
the sex act, and have no desire for the selfish love of the senses. This is the 
state of mind and the state of holiness that our Lord prayed for in the 
Lord's Prayer. "Our Father who art in heaven." There is not anything 
sensual in heaven. The Fatherhood of God is spiritual. Where the 
sensual fatherhood ends, the spiritual Fatherhood begins. God is the 
Father of all of us, that lives eternally, which is mind. As we overcome 
the love of the senses and the love of the lust of the flesh, in mind and 
thought, he becomes our heavenly Father, and we become his spiritual 
children. 

"Hallowed be thy name." God is holy, and cannot behold evil. The 
Infinite and Divine mind is too holy to behold- evil. There is no lust of 
the flesh in the consciousness of the Divine mind. 

"Thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven." The word trans- 
lated "earth" here, means flesh. It is the lust senses of the brain. It is 
matter. "Thy kingdom come over the flesh," would be the better trans- 
lation. It would convey the spiritual idea. That is, let that state of con- 
sciousness come in the flesh, as it is in spirit life. For this state of con- 
sciousness to be realized within the flesh, every thought of the senses, and 
desire for the lust of the flesh, must be overcome in mind. 

—39— 



"Lead us not into temptation (evil)." The original reads, "leave us 
not to the temptation of evil," or "abandon us not to the trial of temptation 
or evil." Evil here, is the same evil that Eve came into the consciousness 
of. The temptation here, is the same temptation that tempted her. It 
is the thought of the lust of the flesh. It is the sex act in consciousness. 
Our Lord prayed that we should not be left in this state of mind, but that 
we should overcome it. 

"But deliver us from evil." This is the same evil that tempted Eve. 
It is the lust of the flesh. It is the sex act. A holy God will not leave us 
subject to this temptation, if we pray to overcome. It is death, and through 
the Christ we can overcome it and obtain life eternal. The Father will 
deliver us from this evil, which is the lust of the flesh and death, if we abide 
within the Christ-mind. For the Christ-mind has overcome the lust of 
the flesh, all evil and death. For the Saviour was not the Christ, until at 
thirty years of age, when in the maturity of his sex forces, and at which 
time, he overcame the lust of the flesh, and death, and became the Christ 
and the life. When we overcome, as he overcame, we will no longer "marry 
nor be given in marriage, and we shall die no more," for we shall then have 
overcome the lust of the flesh and death. The Lord's Prayer will then 
have been fulfilled, and the Father, through the Christ, shall have delivered 
us from all evil, the lust of the flesh, and the desire for the sex act in the mind. 

The Saints in heaven have no desire, in mind, for the senses of the flesh, 
therefore, there is no "suffering, sorrow, and pain" there. God has wiped 
away all desire from the mind for the love of the flesh before we enter 
heaven. Hence, there is no "suffering, sorrow and pain" there. 

"God has wiped away all tears" from the eyes of the saints. They have 
no sorrow and shed no tears, because in mind they have no lust for the 
flesh; therefore, there "is no marrying and given in marriage" in heaven, 
and they "die no more" there. 

In Second Chronicles, chapter six, Solomon consecrates and dedicates 
the temple which he had erected to the Lord. This temple was symbolic 
of our blessed Lord's body. Our Holy Lord overcame every thought and 
desire of the lust of the flesh, until the spirit and the mind of the Father 
was made manifest upon his flesh and body. Solomon's temple was lined 
with gold. Gold was all through it. Gold is symbolic of purity. It is 
symbolic of the mind; free from the desire of the lust of the flesh. Solomon 
said "I have built an house of habitation for thee, (the Lord) and a place for 
thy dwelling forever." Second Chronicles sixth chapter and second verse. 
This house was the temple, that is, the body of our Lord. Our Lord was 
God in the flesh, the mind of the Father was his mind, and his mind was 
free from the flesh. Hence he said, "The Son of Man is in heaven" ; while he 
was here in the flesh. As we overcome the lust of the flesh, in mind and 

—40— 



thought, God, the Father, dwells within our bodies, as his temple, and they 
become the temples of the living God. 

Solomon said at the dedication of the temple" If there be dearth in the 
land, if there be pestilence, * * * whatsoever sore, or whatsoever sickness 
there be; then what prayer or what supplication soever shall be made of 
any man, or all thy people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore, 
and his own grief and shall spread forth his hands in this house; then hear 
thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive and render unto every 
man according unto all his ways, whose heart thou knowest, for thou only 
knowest the hearts of the children of men." Second Chronicles, sixth 
chapter, 28-29-30 verses. Here we see that Solomon recognized that 
dearth, pestilence, sores, and sickness, come from sin, which is lust. The 
temple represented our Lord's body and he was free in mind and thought 
from lust, and therefore, free from sickness, disease and death. 

Solomon recognized that the dwelling place of God was in heaven. 
Heaven is beyond the senses of the flesh. It is the "mountain meeting" 
of the spiritual senses of the soul. It is that state of mind wherein there 
is no state of consciousness of the carnal senses and of matter. 

All who pray to God, whose dwelling place is in heaven, are striving in 
mind and thought for this holy state of consciousness, and are thereby 
overcoming the carnal senses. And as they overcome the senses of the 
flesh, in mind and thought, they heal mind, soul and body. They thereby 
make their bodies the temples of the living God. As they thus overcome 
the carnal senses and the love of the flesh and become conscious of God, 
through spiritual sense, as mind, spirit and life eternal, they are praying 
within their own temples. Our Lord prayed daily, within this temple of 
the flesh. He was in the body physically, but mentally, he was in spirit 
life. He therefore had power to heal the sick and raise the dead. We are 
told in Revelation that there is a "pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, 
proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb." Rev. 22:1. Water 
cleanses the physical body. It is symbolic of purity. The water of the 
river of life (of the Holy City), proceeds out of the throne of God and of the 
Lamb. The throne of God, is the "Great White Throne," we are told in 
Revelation. White is a quality of mind. It is that quality of mind that 
does not love the lust of the flesh. It is that quality of mind that is free 
from matter in thought. It is that quality of mind that does not desire 
the sex act. This is the quality of mind from which flows the "River of 
Life." It's current is the crystal waves of divine ideas, flowing into the 
consciousness, which purifies the mind and frees it from the desire of the 
flesh. 

As the mind becomes conscious of these divine ideas, which constitute 
the "River of Life," the mind no longer desires the flesh and the lust of the 
flesh. 

—41— 



We are told "in the midst of the street of it, (the Holy City) and on either 
side of the river, was there the tree of Life, which bare twelve manner of 
fruits, and yielding her fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were 
for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse; but the 
throne of God and the Lamb shall be in it; and his servant shall serve him." 
Rev. 22: 2-3. There are twelve months in the year and these twelve 
months, or twelve seasons, influence and control the sex, or sensual mind. 
The twelve months of the year influence and control the senses of the seven 
lobes of the brain where lust, sensuality, and sin are located. This is 
twelve, as an earthly number. Twelve, as a heavenly number, is the com- 
plete overcoming of the influence of the senses of the brain, as controlled 
by the twelve months, or twelve seasons of the year. The Christ mind is 
the tree of life, and this Christ mind is free from the senses of the brain, as 
controlled by the twelve seasons or months of the year. It bears it's 
twelve spiritual fruitions, which is the complete overcoming of the lust 
senses of the brain, as they are controlled by the twelve months of the year. 
It is the complete overcoming of the lust of the senses of the seven lobes of 
the brain as controlled by the twelve seasons of the year, and this is the 
"healing of the nations." The diseases of the nations had their origin in 
the mind of lust, and when lust shall have been overcome, the "nations 
shall be healed," and there shall be no more "curse." "The earth," that 
is the flesh, or matter, was "cursed" when lust was yielded to, and the six 
act was first indulged. Diseases, sickness, insanity, and death followed, 
as the result. When lust shall have been overcome, there shall be no more 
"curse," diseases, sickness, insanity, and death. 

There will be no lust within the Holy City, and therefore, there will be 
no "curse" there. There shall be no disease, sickness, insanity and death 
there. But the throne of God and the Lamb, shall be in it; and "his serv- 
ant shall serve him." The "throne of God" is the power of purity. It 
is the sovereignity and the dominion of spirit. The Lamb is symbolic of 
innocence and purity and of the humility of spirit. There is not any of 
the pride of the flesh, and the lust thereof , in the innocence and humility of 
the Lamb. The Lamb is the symbol of the purity of the mind of our Lord 
while here in the flesh. This state of holiness shall prevail in the Holy 
City. The light of spirit and truth shall be the eternal day there. "And 
his servant shall serve him." Only those who have overcome the lust 
of the flesh can serve the Father and the Lamb there. Our Lord said 
while here in the flesh, that you cannot serve two masters. That you 
cannot serve God and Mammon." You cannot serve the lust of the flesh, 
and the Holy God, at one and the same time. You cannot serve Baal and 
the heavenly Father at the same time. You cannot serve the lust senses 
of the seven lobes of the brain, and the spiritual senses of the soul, at the 

—42— 



same time. The mind cannot desire the sex act and love the Holy God at 
the same time. The mind must overcome every desire for the sex act 
before it can serve the heavenly Father. In the Holy City "his servant 
shall serve him/' for there shall be no lust of the flesh there. Not a lustful 
thought can enter the mind in that holy state of consciousness. 

"And they shall see his face and his name shall be in their foreheads." 
Rev. 22:4. "His servant who serve him" there, shall have overcome the 
serpent, death, and every desire of the flesh and for the sex act, and shall 
behold God as spirit, through the spiritual senses of soul. He shall be 
conscious of his ever presence, as the Father of Life. He shall have no 
consciousness of matter, of sin, lust, and death. "His name shall be in 
their foreheads." His name is holiness and his holiness shall be in their 
consciousness, as life eternal. And they shall have no consciousness of 
matter, darkness, lust of the flesh, and death. 

"And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither 
light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light; and they shall reign 
forever and ever." Rev. 22:5. Color is a quality of the mind. Darkness, 
or night, is that quality of mind which loves the lust of the flesh. The 
quality of the mind which desires the sex act, is darkness and night. There 
will be no darkness in the Holy City, and "no night" there, because there 
will be no love of the flesh there, and no desire in the minds of those who 
inhabit the Holy City, for the lust of the flesh. Those who enter the Holy 
City will have no desire in their minds for the sex act. As they gain that 
holy state of consciousness, which shall admit them into the Holy City 
and to "see God face to face" they shall lose all desire for the lust of the 
flesh. 

i "And they need no candle, neither the light of the sun; for the Lord 
God giveth them light." The sun giveth light through the senses. The 
light of the sun enters the consciousness through the senses of the brain, 
and the senses of the brain are influenced and controlled by the sun and the 
solar system. We cannot enter the Holy City, of Spirit, until we overcome 
the consciousness of the senses. The senses of the brain must go out of 
consciousness, before we can gain the consciousness of spiritual sense, and 
"see God face to face" as spirit. When the senses of the brain shall be to 
us no more, in consciousness, we shall gain the consciousness of the light 
of God, as the Heavenly Father. All who enter the Holy City shall have 
overcome the belief in matter, and the belief of life in matter, and the 
pleasure of the senses. They shall have no desire for the sex act. The 
senses of the brain shall have fallen, to them, in consciousness. Babylon, 
which is the city of the senses of the brain and the generative organs, shall 
be no more to them, and the sun shall give them light, no more, through 
the senses. The solar system and the city of the senses shall have fallen 

—43— 



to them. They shall be conscious of the spiritual sense of being, and God, 
as their spiritual Father. Light is a quality of mind. It is that quality 
of the mind which is not conscious of the lust of the flesh. Hence, there 
will be no night in the Holy City. It will be eternal day there, and "the 
Lord God will be the light thereof.'' He will give light unto them who 
have overcome the night of the lust of the flesh, which is death. 

"And they shall reign forever and ever;" for there will be no lust there, 
and therefore no death. 

We are told in Revelation that "the saints have the harps of God." 
The harps of God are the harps of good. God is the contraction for good. 
Good is the opposite of evil. Eve was told that the moment she partook 
of the forbidden fruit she should be as gods knowing good and evil. The 
gods here were the belief of good in the senses, which is lust and evil. When 
the sex act was indulged in, Adam and Eve became conscious of the belief 
in the good of the senses, and the belief in the good of the senses is evil, 
disease and death. It is a lie, and the father of it, and a murderer. This 
is the evil that Adam and Eve became conscious of through the sex brain. 
The senses is error and idolatry. The music of the senses is evil. The 
music of the soul is good. The music of the spiritual senses is of the divine 
mind. All the realm of spirit and mind vibrates with the music of spirit- 
ual sense. "The harps of God" are the music of the spiritual senses of the 
soul. 

Again we are told in Revelation that "the saints have the golden harps." 
The golden harps of the saints are the music of spiritual sense and of soul 
sense. It is the music of soul and no carnal note vibrates there. 

In this realm of spirit and purity there is no music of material sense, 
and no matter and carnal desires. No lust note sounds there, to the fancy 
of the imagination of passion. All the heavenly hosts have their minds 
attuned to the music of spiritual sense and the notes of soul, and purity 
vibrate throughout the infinite realm to the praise and honor of the holy 
and infinite God, who is mind and spirit. "His servant serve Him" with 
the notes of spiritual sense and the music of soul purity. 

In Revelation we are told that St. John beheld a "white cloud, and 
upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a 
golden crown." Wliite is that quality of mind which is free from the love 
of the flesh. Color is a quality of mind, and white is the quality of mind 
of purity. Gold is symbolic of the mind of purity. It is symbolic of that 
quality of mind which is not adulterated with the love of the flesh, nor 
corrupted, nor influenced by the love of the flesh. This is purity, and this 
is the crown of the Son of man. 

While he was here in the flesh he said "blessed are the pure in heart for 
they shall see God." None are pure in heart, except those who have over- 

—44— 



come the lust of the flesh. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is the purifica- 
tion of the mind from the love of the flesh. The mind that has received 
the baptism of the Holy Spirit is free from the lust of the flesh. Such a 
mind is pure in heart (in thought). He, who has received the baptism of 
the Holy Spirit, does not think carnal thoughts, but righteous thoughts. 
He is in right relation with God as the holy and infinite mind, and is con- 
scious of the presence of God, and sees him, "face to face" in mind through 
spiritual sense. He has the golden harp and the golden crown of spiritual 
sense, and understands his spiritual relation with God, as his spiritual 
father. He has overcome the beast and the lust of the flesh in mind and 
thought. 

The beast is located within the senses of the brain. The sex senses 
have a distinct location within the brain, and herein is located the religion 
of the senses. Religion is derived from the Latin and means reverence, 
or adoration for the gods. The gods here is the belief of good in the senses, 
and is a lie, and is lust and evil. It is the love of the sex act. The Latin, 
from which the term religion is derived, has a primary meaning. The 
root meaning of the Latin, from which the term religion is derived, means, 
"to bring together again." It is the worship of the senses through the 
sex act which brings the sexes together again, and this faculty is located 
within the senses of the brain. The Greek from which the term "religion" 
is derived means adhesion, to hold together, to have and care for. This faculty, 
which holds the sexes together, and causes them to have adhesion for each 
other is the lust senses of the brain. It is located within the cells of the 
brain. The gratification of the lust senses of the brain, is sex worship, and 
this is the sex act. The senses of the brain is the "earth that man who was 
made in God's image," was told to "be fruitful, multiply, increase, subdue 
and have dominion over." When man failed to obey this command and 
yielded to the lust of the flesh, he was turned out into the "earth," and the 
"earth" here, into which he was turned, is the lust senses of the seven lobes 
of the brain. Sex worship then became man's natural religion. Sex 
worship is the adoration of the senses of the brain and the generative organs. 
This is idolatry. Christianity is the overcoming, in mind and thought, 
the lust senses of the brain and the generative organs, and the adoration 
of God through spiritual sense, as the holy and infinite mind and Creator. 
Christianity is the overcoming of sex worship. 

We are told in the eleventh chapter of Genesis, that "the whole earth 
was of one language and one speech." The term here translated "lang- 
uage," in the original means "lip." And the term translated "speech," 
in the original means "word." A word is the symbol of a thought or an 
idea. All the race here was of one mind. But they said, "go to, let us 
build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven." The 

—45— 



city here, that they undertook to build, was a city of the senses. The 
tower, that they wished to construct, was in their sex brain. They wanted 
to reach heaven, or good, through the senses. They wanted to make the 
sex act divine. They went from purity into lust in thought and act. 

And they said, "And let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad 
on the face of the whole earth." This is the egotism of the sex mind. It 
is the vanity of the flesh. It is the pride of lust. It is the lie of the serpent 
that it can create something. The natural man, through the sex act, 
thinks he can create something, through his egotism of lust. But he never 
has, and never will create anything that shall live. All, that is of the flesh 
and matter, must pass away and out of consciousness, before the kingdom 
of heaven and the kingdom of spirit, and life, can be realized in conscious- 
ness. 

"And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the 
children of men builded. And the Lord said Behold the people is one, and 
they have all one language; and this they began to do; and. now nothing 
will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do." liere we 
see that the people was "one" and they had one language. They were a 
unit in thought. Their thought was not carnal. It was not of the senses.. 
It was not the confusion of the sex act. But, when they determined 
through the imagination of the senses of their sex brain to indulge the lust 
of the flesh, and try to reach heaven, or good, through the senses of the sex 
act, confusion set in. The city they attempted to build was in the senses 
of the seven lobes of the brain and its construction was the sex act. This 
was the tower that they were going to erect through the senses, and the 
Lord said that "nothing will be restrained from them, which they have 
imagined to do." He let them go the limit of the carnal imaginations of 
the senses of the brain. He turned them over to their abandoned state of 
mind and to lust and sin. 

Men and women have builded this city of the senses, and this tower of 
the senses, within the imaginations of their brains, and have attempted to 
make heaven, or good, out of the senses through the sex act, in all ages, 
and God has abandoned them to the lust of their own carnal imaginations. 
As a result, the race has been diseased and insane through the lust of the 
flesh, in all ages since the fall. 

The Lord said, "Go to, let us go down, and there confound their lang- 
uage, that they may not understand one another's speech." "Go to," 
here, is the language of the sex act. It expresses the thought of carnal 
passion. The Lord abandoned them to the passion of the senses and the 
pride, vanity, and ambition of the flesh. Their language became confound- 
ed and they could not understand each other. Language is the expression 
of thought. Their thoughts and desires were the passions and ambitions 

—46— 



of the flesh. They are confusion. This state of confusion of the lust of the 
flesh has prevailed in all ages, with social and industrial strife, and wars, 
as the result. They have their origin in the sex and sensual ambitions of 
the flesh. 

"So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence, upon the face of all 
the earth, and they left off to build the city." When they had gratified the 
lust of the flesh, through the sex act, they were scattered abroad in the con- 
fusion of the senses. "Earth," here, means matter or the senses. "And 
they left off to build the city." The sex act was over. They did not con- 
tinue to build the city of the senses. The lust of the flesh had been grati- 
fied. Every man and woman, who gratifies the lust of the flesh through 
the sex act, leaves off building the city of the senses, when the sex act is 
completed. This city, which is in the imagination of the senses of the 
brain, falls when the sex act is completed. 

"Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there 
confound the language of all the earth; and from thence did the Lord 
scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth." The term "Babel" 
here, means confusion. It is the same as the Greek, which is translated 
into the English as Babylon. It means confusion, and the gate to god or 
gods. That is, the way to the good of the senses, that is to say, the sex act. 
It has the same root meaning as the word translated "serpent" that deceiv- 
ed Eve. The original of the word translated "serpent," that deceived Eve, 
means "babbler" or "the master of the tongue." "Tongue," here means 
the expression of thought, and the master of thought, of the carnal mind; 
it is the senses of the seven lobes of the brain. This master of lust desires, 
is within the senses of the brain, the tongue, and the generative organs. 
The senses, which are the masters of human passion, are continuously babbling 
away to the consciousness of the race and creating confusion and strife in 
the race everywhere. The center of the activity of this city of the senses 
is within the sex act, and this is confusion. Hence, when they had gratified 
their lust desires through the sex act, they left off building the city of the 
senses, and the carnal imagination of the brain, and called it "Babel" or 
confusion. It is confusion and death. The language of the "earth" that 
the Lord "confounded" is the language of the senses of the brain and of 
lust desires and all the race is scattered abroad in the thought and 
desires of the lust senses of the brain. 

The seat of sensation is within the nerves. The sensation of the nerves 
is the earth of the Bible. The seat of location of the nerves is within the 
brain and the sex organs. The belief that there is good in the sensation 
of the nerves, through the sex act, is a lie and confusion. This belief of 
pleasure and life, within the sensation of the nerves, through the sex act, 
is the city of Babel and the City of Babylon, which are the cities of con- 

—47— 



fusion and death. These cities of confusion and death, are the confusion 
of the tongues and the earth, into which they were scattered abroad. The 
confusion of tongues was the confusion of the senses, and the earth into 
which they were scattered, was the desire of the senses. The cities of 
Sodom and Gomorrah were the cities of the perversion of the senses. Sex 
degeneracy, in all conditions and forms, prevailed there. Unnatural lust 
was their religion. Men indulging sexually with men, and women with 
women, and men indulging sexually with the lower beast creation. 
These were physical cities, it is true. But their real existence was in mind 
and thought. These cities expressed the thought of the people who inhabit 
them. The people, who inhabit these cities, lived for the unnatural desires 
and gratification of the sex senses. This was true also of Babylon. Its 
people lived for the lust of the flesh. Their religion was the gratification 
of the sex senses. This is materialism, paganism, and heathenism. It is 
the religion of the belief of life and pleasure in matter, through the sex act. 
It exists within the nerve cells of the brain and the sex organs, and is con- 
fusion and death. 

St. Paul, in the thirteenth chapter of Hebrews, fourteenth verse, says, 
"For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come." The 
city, of which St. Paul speaks, that does not continue and abide forever, 
is the city of the senses. It is that state of mind that believes there is 
pleasure and life in matter and the sex act. This city of the senses and of 
matter, must pass away. The cities of Babel, Babylon, Sodom and Go- 
morrah, which are the cities of the lust of the flesh, must pass out of the 
consciousness and mind of every man and woman, before heaven is reached. 

'But St. Paul says that "We seek a continuing city to come." This is 
the city of the New Jerusalem, and St. John tells us that the "streets of the 
New Jerusalem are made of pure gold." Its "streets of pure gold" is 
symbolic of the truth that there is not a carnal idea, nor a lustful thought 
in consciousness there, and it "abideth forever," for purity can never die.

CHAPTER IV. 

The history, tradition, and the folk lore of diseases are to the effect, 
that diseases had their origin in the minds of evil spirits. All peoples, in 
their native state, have believed this. It is inherent in human nature, to 
believe that disease is the result of sin. Sin is lust, and the lust of the 
flesh is the minds of evil spirits. The native American Indian believed 
that disease was the result of evil spirits. They worshipped the good 
spirits and fought the bad spirits. All peoples, in their native and barb- 
aric states, have done this. The native North American Indian worshipped 
the Great Spirit, and fought the evil spirits that they claimed were the 
cause of diseases. They did not define evil spirits, and no native peoples 
have, in their barbaric state. But all peoples, in their native and barbaric 
state, have believed that disease was the result of evil spirits. The history 
of medicine has its origin in this tradition and folk lore. The history of 
medicine begins with the history of diseases, as caused by evil spirits. 
The history of all the schools of medicine and diseases converge at this 
point. All peoples have believed that disease is the result of sin and the 
evil spirits. This thought is inherent in the human mind, and has been 
ever since the fall, and lust entered into consciousness. 

The mind of evil spirits is the mind of the lust of the flesh, and this is 
si,:. And sin is the cause of disease and death. 

"And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, 
Go your ways, and pour out the vials of wrath of God upon the earth. And 
the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a 
noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, 
and upon them which worshipped his image." Rev. 16:1-4. 

Here, we have seven angels. The seven angels, here, represent the 
heavenly number of purity. There are seven lobes in the brain, which 
constitutes the center of the nervous system, and the nervous system is the 
seat of passion and lust; and seven is an earthly number, and as an earthly 
number represents the complete lust thought of the seven lobes of the 
brain. The complete overcoming of the lust thought of the seven lobes of 
the brain, is seven as a heavenly number. The seven angels here rep- 
resent seven as a heavenly number, and they are here told to pour out the 
vials of wrath of God upon the "earth." The "earth," here means flesh. 
It is the lust of the flesh, sin and disease. And the first angel went and 

—51— 



"poured his vial upon the earth (that is the flesh), and there fell a noisome 
and grievous sore upon men which had the mark of the beast, and upon 
them which worshipped his image.' , 

We see the truth of this scripture around us daily. We see the syph- 
ilitic sores upon men who have the mark of the beast, and upon them that 
worship his image. The beast is lust, and is the same beast that deceived 
Eve. It is the sex act. And those who have the mark of the beast carry 
their sores upon their bodies as the result of their sins. 

Image here means idea. Those who worship the idea of the lust of the 
flesh pay the penalty with diseased bodies and brains. Those who worship 
the image of the beast fill insane asylums and hospitals. The mind of lust 
produces syphilis and gonorrhea, and these diseases produce the sores, 
deafness, blindness, insanity, and diseases of the race. 

Here in the sixteenth chapter of Revelation, each of the seven angels 
pours out the vial of wrath of God upon lust and sin. We are told in the 
tenth and eleventh verses of the sixteenth chapter of Revelation, "And the 
fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom 
was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, and blas- 
phemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and 
repented not of their deeds." The "seat of the beast" is the seat of lust 
and passion, and this seat of lust and passion is in the nerve cells of the 
brain. This kingdom of lust is darkness and night. The quality of mind 
that loves the lust of the flesh is darkness. It is black. It is night. It is 
Hell. And this quality of mind, which loves the lust of the flesh, produces 
the syphilitic germ, which produces the sore, which makes men and women 
gnaw their tongues with pain. It makes them blaspheme the God of heaven, 
because of their pains and their sores. And they repent not of their deeds. 
They are abandoned to the love of the lust of the flesh, and know not God. 

In the nineteenth verse of the sixteenth chapter of Revelation, we are 
told, "And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the 
nations fell; and great Babylon came in'rememberance before God, to give 
unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath." Babylon here 
is the city of the lust senses of the brain. It is the city of Babel. It is 
within the lust senses of the brain of every man and woman at puberty. 
It is the "babbler," the serpent, that deceived Eve. 

This city of lust and sensuality which is a state of mind, curses the flesh 
and makes men and women gnaw their tongues with pain, and fills their 
bodies with sores. God "gave unto her (Babylon, the city of lust) the cup 
of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath." Those who do not overcome 
the "mark of the beast and his image" shall wear the sores of the beast. In 
mind, after matter has failed them, they shall still worship the beast in 
mind and thought. This is darkness and Hell. 

—52— 



In the twentieth verse, sixteenth chapter, of Revelation, we are told, 
"And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found." Here 
the senses have been overcome in mind and thought. The senses and 
matter are no more. The mind perceives the material and external world 
through the senses of the brain, and when the mind overcomes the lust 
of the flesh, the consciousness of the senses of the brain is overcome, and 
the consciousness of the material and external world is overcome. 

The external and material world exists to our consciousness through 
the cells of the brain. The "mountains' ' in our consciousness are the 
senses of the seven lobes of the brain. When the senses of the brain are 
overcome, "every island shall flee away, and the mountains shall not be 
found." The lust of the flesh exists in the cells of the brain, and when the 
mind and the senses of the brain are overcome, matter is overcome. Hence 
our Lord said, "Through faith the mountains should be removed." Through 
faith and spiritual understanding, we overcome lust and the senses. When 
we overcome lust and the senses, the "mountains are no more." "The 
ways of the Gentiles" are the ways of the senses of the brain. The words "Gen- 
tile," "pagan" and "earth" are synonomous terms. They mean "matter," 
that is, the lust senses of the brain. "The Gentile world" is in the cells of the 
brain and lust senses of the generative organs of every man and woman. 
In the Catholic Bible, which is the vulgate translation, the term translated 
in the Protestant Bible "pagan" or "heathen" is translated "Gentile." 
"Pagan," "heathen" and "gentile" are synonomous terms. They are identi- 
cal terms. The "pagan and heathen world" is within the nerve cells of 
the brain and the lust senses of the generative organs of every man and 
woman. The Christian is he who has overcome the lust senses of the 
brain and the senses of the generative organs. 

Our Lord referring to pestilence, earthquakes, disease, plagues, and 
wars and rumors of wars, said "these things must be until the days of the 
Gentiles are fulfilled." Diseases, insanity, crime, and wars will continue, 
until the lust of the flesh is overcome. As long as men and women serve 
the beast, they will be diseased, insane and kill each other. The beast is 
within the cells of their brain and the lust senses of the generative organs, 
and as long as they serve the flesh, they will be diseased and destroy each 
other. 

"Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk 
naked, and they see his shame." Rev. 16:15. 

He that "keepeth his garments" is he, who is pure in heart. He has 
overcome the lust of the senses of the brain. He has overcome the lust of 
the flesh. He has no shame. Our Lord had no shame. He was pure in 
heart. Adam and Eve became "ashamed" when they became conscious 
of sin. Lust within their consciousness made them "ashamed." After 

—53— 



they indulged in the sex act, they covered up their loins, and generative 
organs. They were ashamed. They were conscious that sin was there. 
Death was then within their minds, and they were conscious that this evil 
which produced shame and death was within the senses and generative 
organs. When lust shall have been overcome, there will be no shame. 

"And the seven angels came out of the temple , having the seven plagues, 
clothed in pure and white linen, and having their breasts girded with 
golden girdles." Rev. 15:6. The seven angels, whom God sent forth with 
the seven plagues with which to curse the lust of the flesh, represented 
purity. They were pure, and they carried with them the seven plagues 
of God with which to curse the flesh of men for lust. The seven angels 
were clothed in "pure and white linen." White is that quality of^mind 
which denotes purity. It is that quality of the mind which is unconscious 
of the lust of the flesh. The seven angels had their breasts girded with 
"golden girdles." The seat of passion of the female is located within the 
nerves of the breast, and the brain, and the generative organs. The male 
has his female nature too. The breast of the female is the seat of passion 
that brings the male and female together sexually. The seven angels' 
breasts were girded with gold. Gold is symbolic of purity. "The golden 
girdles" girded about their breasts were symbolic of the truth, that in mind 
and thought, they were above the lust of the flesh, and free from every 
•carnal desire and lustful thought. They represented seven as a heavenly 
number, which is purity. They were holy; and they were sent forth with 
the plagues of a holy God, to curse the flesh of men with sores for their lust. 

In the sixteenth chapter of Revelation we have the seven angels pouring 
out the seven vials of the wrath of God. The seven angels here represent 
complete purity and holiness. They represent "seven" as a heavenly 
number. And they are told "to pour out the vials of the wrath of God 
upon the earth." The earth is the flesh and the lust of the flesh. It is 
seven as an earthly number. "Earth" here represents the seven lobes of 
the brain, where the lust of the flesh and passion are located. 

"And the first went and poured out his vial upon the earth (the flesh) 
and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men, which had the 
mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image." We see 
the truth of this passage around us daily, in men and women who have 
lived for the lust of the flesh and the sex act. They have their syphilitic 
sores and diseased minds and bodies, as the result of sin and lust. They 
have "worshipped the image of the beast" and "they have his mark upon 
them." 

"And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became 
as the blood of a dead man; and every living soul died in the sea." "Sea" 
here is symbolic of the sex mind. It is symbolic of the senses of the seven 

—54— 



lobes of the brain. The sensual mind rolls and tosses in consciousness, as 
does the natural sea through the law of the solar system. The passions 
and desires of the sensual mind are controlled by the laws of astronomy, as 
is the natural sea. All who live within the consciousness of the sensual 
mind become "as the blood of a dead man," and "every living soul" 
dies in this sea of the senses and the love of the flesh. There is no spiritual 
life in this sea of the senses and the lust of the flesh. This is the "sea that 
shall roll away and be no more" when the senses and the love of the flesh 
shall have been overcome. Then "there shall be no more sea (lust)," to 
those who have overcome the senses of the brain and the love of the flesh, 
for then they shall see through spiritual sense and see God "face to face." 

"And the third angel poured- out his vial upon the rivers and fountains 
of waters; and they became as blood." "The rivers and fountains of waters," 
are controlled by the solar system, and so are the senses of the sensual 
and sex mind. "And they became as blood." Our Saviour said "flesh 
and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God." 

"And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was 
given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with 
great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over 
these plagues; and they repented not to give him glory." They still gave 
the glory to the flesh and the love of the flesh. They still lived for the love 
of the sex act. "They repented not." They changed not their minds 
from the love of the flesh to the love of God, but still loved and honored the 
flesh. The "sun" here is a part of the solar system and is controlled by 
the solar system, as is the sensual and sex mind. It radiates the heat of 
the solar system. The sensual mind radiates the heat of the lust of the 
flesh, and it scorches men with the fire of lust, and consumes the minds, 
souls and bodies of men and women, with the flames of lust. Outside of 
the city of Jerusalem was the place where the Jews consumed with flames 
the garbage, filth, and dead bodies of animals and human beings that were 
diseased, and paupers that had no one to bury them. From this place where 
the filth, garbage, and dead bodies of the city were consumed with flames, 
the Jews got their conception of Hell. Hell, with them, was a place of 
fire to consume filth and disease. The Jews believed that the center of the 
earth was a consuming fire and a place of darkness and gloom. Hell, with 
them, was a place of night, and consuming fire. The Jew believed that Hell 
was the center of the "earth." This was his idea of darkness and eternal 
torment. Hell is in "the center of the earth," for it is the essence of the 
love of the flesh. "The earth" in the Bible is the flesh, and the carnal 
desires of the flesh; and the mind of burning lust is the flames of Hell, which 
torment day and night those who have riot overcome the lust of the flesh. 

"And the Lord set a mark upon Cain, lest any finding him should kill 

—55— 



him." ''Cain" is the sensual and sex mind, and every man and woman who 
indulges the "Cain" mind, is marked. The masturbater shows it in his 
eyes, mouth, and every expression of the face. His mind becomes weak and 
his thoughts disconnected, and if he continues this self-pollution, he fills 
the insane asylum or a premature grave. He bears the mark of Cain. 
The man or woman who indulges the sex desires unnaturally, soon destroys 
the brain and dies of insanity. The mark of Cain is there. The man or 
woman, who continue to indulge the lust of the flesh naturally, finally 
weakens mind and body. All gratification of the love of the flesh is death. 
The mark of Cain is there, and he was a murderer from the beginning. 

We are told that "Cain's countenance fell," when he brought forth his 
fruit of the ground as an offering to the Lord. The ground here is the 
"earth," which is the lust of the flesh, and all who offer up the lust of the 
flesh as an offering, their countenances fall. The young bride goes into the 
bridal chamber pure and innocent. When she comes out, her countenance 
has fallen. She has been through sin, and the mark of Cain is there. This 
mark of Cain begins with the first knowledge of the lust of the flesh and 
increases as the lust of the flesh is indulged, until diseases, insanity and 
death result. They are the marks of Cain. "God hath power over these 
plagues," but "men repent not to give him glory." They continue in the 
love of the flesh and are consumed by the flames of lust, which are the 
flames of hell. "And gnaw their tongues with pain." There is a hell, and 
this hell is the consuming flames of lust in the mind, which diseases the 
mind and body here, and diseases the mind beyond the grave. Unless 
there is repentance and the mind turns from the lust of the love of the flesh 
to the love of God, the mind burns in the flames of the love of the flesh, 
after dissolution from the material body. Lazarus was in the bosom of 
Abraham, but the rich man could not go there. There was an unsur- 
passable gulf between them. They were in two different states of con- 
sciousness. 

"And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his 
kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues with pain, 
and blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, 
and repented not of their deeds." The "seat of the beast" is within the 
lust senses of the seven lobes of the brain and the generative organs. 
Herein is located the love of the lust of the flesh, and it is the kingdom of 
darkness. The mind of lust is darkness, and of night, and it produces the 
syphilitic germ, disease, insanity, and death. It causes men to gnaw their 
tongues with pain. The same state of mind that produces the love of the 
lust of the flesh, produces the syphilitic germ, disease, insanity, and death, 
and it exists beyond the grave, in mind and thought, unless overcome. 
It makes men gnaw their tongues with pain." The pain is within their 

—56— 



minds, and this state of mind is the love of the flesh. It causes men to 
"blaspheme the God of heaven," because of their pains and their sores, 
and to repent not of their deeds. 

As long as the mind loves the lust of the flesh, there will be pains and 
sores upon the bodies of men and women. They must repent of their deeds, 
fornication, and adultery, and turn in mind and thought, from the love of 
the lust of the flesh to the love of God, if they would be whole and holy. 

"And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; 
and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east, 
might be prepared." The river Euphrates here has a symbolic meaning. 
Babylon was built on this river, and Babylon is the city of the lust senses 
of the brain. The river Euphrates was the boundary line of King Solo- 
mon's kingdom. Solomon's dominion was a spiritual dominion. The 
river Euphrates divided his dominion from the Philistines and the Egypt- 
ians. The Philistines and Egyptians were sex worshippers. They were 
heathens and pagans. Their religion was the lust senses of the brain. 
Their gods were the lust of the flesh. Solomon was presumed to worship 
the true God of spirit, and his reign to be of spiritual sense. He oftentimes 
went astray after the false gods of lust, but returned to the true God of 
his father David. The river Euphrates, symbolically speaking, is presumed 
to separate Solomon's kingdom of spiritual sense from the kingdom of the 
lust senses of the Philistines and Egyptians. The river Euphrates here 
represents the dividing line in thought and consciousness between the 
spiritual sense of the soul and the carnal senses of the flesh. Jeremiah 
tells us in the fifteenth chapter and thirty-eighth verse, that the waters of 
Babylon shall dry up for it is a "land of graven images, and they are mad 
upon their idols." The "waters of Babylon," was the river Euphrates. 
Babylon fell, and her waters, which was the river Euphrates, dried up. 
Babylon was the city of the senses of the brain and the generative organs, 
and the people there worshipped lust as their gods. Idolatry, which is the 
religion of the lust senses of the brain, was their religion. This Babylon 
shall fall, and her waters dry up, in the consciousness of men and women. 

"That the way of the kings of the East might be prepared;" we are 
told in Isaiah, forty-first .chapter, first and second verses, "keep silence 
before me, 0! islands; and let the people renew their strength; let them 
come nearer; then let them speak; let us come near together to judgment. 
Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, and 
gave him the nations before him and made him rule over kings? He gave 
them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow." The 
righteous man from the east is the Christ. The Star of Bethlehem is the 
eastern star of his glory. The angel announced his holy conception and 
the angels announced his holy birth, with loud choruses of hallelujah. And 

—57— 



he was made Ruler over the kings of the senses, which were the kings of the 
East and of the "earth." The kings of the senses, which were the kings 
of the East and of the earth shall be made "dust to his sword," and "stub- 
ble to his bow." Babylon, which is the city of the lust senses of the brain, 
shall fall, the kingdoms of the earth shall be no more, and the kingdom of 
God shall be at hand. 

"And the seventh angel poured his vial into the air; and there came a 
great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne saying, 'It is 
done'." The seventh angel here represents the consummation of purity. 
The air, into which he poured his vial of wrath, represents all of the 
solar system, and the thought of the sensual mind. It represents the 
complete consummation of the lust of the flesh. It represents the com- 
pleteness of the number seven as an earthly number, and it is destroyed, 
completely, by the seventh angel. "It is done." All the lust of the flesh 
and its power of destruction has been overcome and destroyed, in mind 
and consciousness. The voice that destroyed it, came out of the "temple 
of heaven, from the throne." The temple of heaven is spiritual. It is the 
spiritual body in the image of God, the Creator and Maker. And the 
throne is purity. It is the mind of the Father. It is the Great White 
Throne. The lust of the flesh has been destroyed within this holy state of 
consciousness. "It is done." Lust and death have been overcome, and 
"all things have been made new." This is the lesson of the seven angels 
in the sixteenth chapter of Revelation.

CHAPTER V. 

St. John tells us that "he was in the spirit on the Lord's day" when he 
received the Revelation, on the Isle of Patmos. The Lord's day is the 
sabbath. It is the seventh day in the account of creation. It is seven as 
a heavenly number. God rested on the seventh day, after he had finished 
his creation and pronounced it "very good." Seven is here used as a 
heavenly number. It was the spiritual state of consciousness of man made 
in God's image, before man became conscious of the senses of the seven 
lobes of the brain through the sex act, and thereby fell to and became con- 
scious of "seven" as an earthly number, which is the senses of the seven 
lobes of the brain. The sabbath is heaven and a heavenly number. It is 
that holy state of consciousness wherein the lust senses of the seven lobes 
of the brain do not enter into mind and thought. St. John was in this 
holy state of consciousness, when he received the book of Revelation. In 
consciousness, he was beyond the senses of the seven lobes of the brain, in 
thought. He was "within the spirit." The senses of the seven lobes of 
the brain rolled away from his mind and thought, and he saw through 
spiritual sense, the Christ "face to face." 

Revelation means "to lift the veil." The veil is the senses of the seven 
lobes of the brain and the senses of the generative organs. When it is 
lifted, we see through the spiritual senses and mind, and not through 
material senses and matter. This is revealed religion. It is Christianity. 
This is the veil that was rent, "from top to bottom," when our Lord was 
crucified. The temple represented the body, and the veil, the senses of the 
brain. Beyond the veil, in the temple, was the "seat of the Holy of Holies;" 
beyond the lust senses of the brain is the consciousness of the spiritual 
sense of being, and the music of the Holy Angels and the Heavenly Host. 
This is the Holy Sabbath, and St. John was in this state of mind when he 
received the book of Revelation. 

We understand the book of Revelation, in proportion as the veil of the 
senses of the seven lobes of the brain is rent from top to bottom, in our 
own consciousness and thought. 

St. John tells us "I saw seven golden candlesticks; and in the midst 
of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of Man, clothed with a 
garment down to the foot, and gird about the paps with a golden girdle." 
Seven here is used as a heavenly number. The seven golden candlesticks 

—59— 



are symbolic of the light of purity. For we are told that there "is no 
night in the Holy City;" for there is no lust there. Moses was commanded 
by the Lord, to place the golden candlesticks on the altar in the tabernacle, 
and that God would come down and abide there. The tabernacle was a 
pre-flgure of the temple of Jerusalem. And the temple in Jerusalem was 
symbolic of the body of our Lord, and the purity of the mind of our Lord, 
was manifested upon his flesh and body. 

Every man and woman has the golden candlesticks, that Moses was 
commanded to place over the altar in the tabernacle, giving forth the light 
of spiritual purity, within his or her own consciousness, in proportion as the 
night and the lust senses of the brain fall and recedes from his or her own 
thoughts. In proportion as men and women overcome the lust of the 
flesh and the senses of the seven lobes of the brain, in that proportion does 
the light of the seven golden candlesticks give forth light and purity in 
their own minds and light up the minds of their bodies with the light of 
purity. 

Moses was commanded, by the Lord, to place the cherubims over the 
altar in the tabernacle, so they would look "upward.'' This was symbolic 
of the light of purity. "Cherubim" means to grasp and to hold within the 
grasp. That is, ideas and messages. The cherubims over the altar in the 
tabernacle and the temple in Jerusalem, were symbolic of spiritual ideas. 
That is, looking up in mind and thought from the low and degrading 
thoughts of the lust of the flesh. These spiritual ideas within the con- 
sciousness of the mind were God's messages of truth and purity, and 
the soul was held in their grasp of purity. 

The cherubims that turned Adam and Eve out of the garden of Eden, 
when they fell and indulged the sex act, were the opposite of the cherubims 
over the altar. The cherubims that turned Adam and Eve out of Eden 
when they indulged the lust of the flesh, were lust ideas and thoughts. In 
mind and thought, they were possessed with and held in the grasp of lust 
and carnality. The lust desires burning within their minds, constituted 
the "flaming sword," that turned everyway 'to keep them from partaking 
of the tree of Life and living forever. This flaming sword, which is lust 
within the mind, is death and hell, and must be overcome for purity and 
life eternal to be obtained. 

St. John tells us that the Son of Man said to him, in Revelation, "The 
mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the 
seven golden candlesticks: the seven stars are the angels of the seven 
churches; and the seven candlesticks, which thou sawest are the seven 
churches." Seven is here used as a heavenly number. The seven churches 
to which the book of Revelation was addressed, represented the heavenly 
number of purity — that is, complete purity. They represented the mind 

—60— 



completely overcoming the lust of the flesh. . They represented the com- 
plete overcoming of the lust ideas which turned the soul out of E$en. 
That is completely overcoming the flaming sword and the cherubims, 
which were placed at the gate of Eden to "keep man from partaking of the 
tree of Life, and living forever." 

The seven angels of the seven churches were symbolic of complete light. 
Hence, they were represented by seven stars. The seven churches were 
represented by the seven golden candlesticks, which was symbolic of com- 
plete light and purity, that is the complete overcoming of lust and carnality, 
in mind and thought. In this state of mind, man returns to Eden, which 
is the Paradise of God, and a state of purity and holiness, in mind and 
thought, and lives forever as the child of God. 

The other state of consciousness is the lust of the flesh. It is seven as 
an earthly number, and is death. 

"And they worshipped the dragon, which gave power unto the beast; 
and they worshipped the beast saying, who is like unto the beast? Who 
is able to make war with him." Rev. 13:4. 

In the eighteenth chapter of Revelation, fifteenth and nineteenth verses, 
we have the dragon and beast denned. They are the city of Babylon. 
And the city of Babylon is the lust senses of the seven lobes of the brain. 
It is the carnal and evil imagination of the lust senses of the brain, the 
generative organs, and the sex act. "The merchants of these things, which 
were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, 
weeping and wailing, and saying, alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed 
in fine linen and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious 
stones and pearls. For in one hour her great riches is come to naught. And 
every ship master, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many 
as trade by sea, stood afar off, and cried,when they saw the smoke of her 
burning, saying what city is like unto this great city." In the thirteenth 
chapter and fourth verse of Revelation, we again have this great city 
defined. It is located in the lust senses of the brain, and generative organs 
of every man and woman. 

"And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast; 
and they worshipped the beast saying, who is like unto the beast? Who 
is able to make war with him?" Rev. 13:4. The beast is the city based 
upon the lust of the flesh and the thought of the sex act is in the mind of 
the race. The fine linens, and purples, and scarlets, precious stones and 
pearls, are but the desires of the lust of the flesh. The sex thought creates 
a demand for these things. At puberty, the young begin to desire them, 
and at sex maturity and the mating age, they demand them. Remove the 
sex thought from the consciousness of men and women, and the fine linens^ 
purple, scarlet, and precious stones, and costly pearls, will have no more 

—61— 



value, because there will be no more demand for them. They are of the 
senses and the lust of the flesh. "The ship masters, and ail the company 
in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea," are those who trade by 
the lust of the flesh. The "sea" here, is the sex or sensual mind. It is the 
"sea" that shall give up the dead, when lust is overcome. It is true, there 
is a physical sea, upon which ships sail, and it rolls and tosses, as it is con- 
trolled by the solar system, just as does the sex or sensual mind, as it is 
controlled by the solar system. The rolling and tossing and foaming of 
the carnal ideas, within the sea of the sensual mind, creates a demand for 
the fine linens, purple, scarlet, decked with gold, precious stones and 
pearls, with which the ships on the physical sea are loaded. The true sea, 
upon which the ships sail that carry these vanities of the flesh, is located 
within the lust senses of the brain and the generative organs. 

"And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, 
saying, alas, alas, that great city wherein were made rich all that had ships 
in the sea by reason of her costliness, for in one hour is she made desolate. 
Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prophets; for God 
hath avenged you on her." Rev. 18:19, 20. The city of Babylon is here 
fallen. The merchants who were made rich by reason of her merchandise weep 
because there is no more demand for her merchandise. The serpent has crept 
and coiled within the lobes of the brain of men and women, and poured 
out his last poison of lust to cause men and women to indulge the sex act. 
Babylon is no more. In one hour she is made desolate and there is no 
more demand for the merchandise of the earth. The most pitiful sight in 
all this world, is to behold the fallen woman, in the last days of her de- 
gradation and sin, as she sits in her window of the lowest dive and hut of 
the underworld, beckoning to passers by to come in, with her eyes aglare 
with the glassy look of sin, death and hell; with her cheeks pale and haggard; 
her expression hard and cruel, deceptive and false; her eyes ,her mouth, her 
face and her expression, express and manifest what is within the conscious- 
ness of her soul — death and hell are within the consciousness of her soul. 

The next most pitiful picture in all the world is the degraded and fallen 
man, who, through the vice of lust, has permitted the serpent to destroy 
mind, soul, and body, as he hunts the haunts of the night of the under- 
world, to find suitable companions for his degraded state of thought, and 
meets his fellow companions of degradation, and there with filth and 
disease saturates his hungry, perishing, and degraded soul with the vice of 
lust, until he and his companion, in death, die together. This is Babylon 
in her last night and state of death. 

"Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy apostles and prohets; for 
God hath avenged you on her." Babylon is of the senses of the brain. 
She is the city of sin, lust, and death. Heaven is the city of the New 

—62— 



Jerusalem, and there is no lust there, and in this Holy City of purity, God 
will avenge the holy apostles and prophets upon the city of Babylon, which 
is lust. Babylon shall have no power over the saints in the Holy City. 
The serpent cannot pour out his poison of lust and death into the minds 
and consciousness of the saints there. 

"And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great mill stone, and cast it 
into the sea, saying, thus with violence shall the great city of Babylon be 
thrown down and shall be found no more at all." Rev. 18:21. The mighty 
angel here, is the great power of purity. The "sea" is the sex or sensual 
mind. Babylon is the city of lust. As the mighty power of purity over- 
comes the rolling and tossing sea of the sensual mind, the city of Babylon, 
which is the city of lust, falls in thought and consciousness. When the 
mighty angel of purity shall have completely overcome every idea and 
thought of the sea of the sensual mind, the last desire of the lust of the flesh 
will go out of consciousness, and "Babylon shall be no more at all." There 
will not be any more desire for the lust of the flesh in the mind. This will 
be heaven and Life Eternal. 

There is no such thing as love in and of the flesh. There is not any 
love in the flesh. All that is in, and of the flesh is in and of the senses, and 
this is lust, and not love. "Love" is from a Latin word, which means "it 
pleases;" and is equivalent to our English word "to believe." It is a 
reverence for God. Love is of divine origin. Our Lord said "I do those 
things which always please the Father." Love pleases God, the Father, 
for God is Love. The etymology of love and its metaphysical meaning is 
equivalent to our English phrase "to believe." Hence, our Lord said "He 
that believeth in me shall never die." We cannot believe in him, until we 
love God, the Father, and we cannot love God, until we please him. We 
cannot please him until we overcome the sensual and lust. Love is ideal- 
ism, and lust is materialism. Love is of the mind. Lust is of the senses. 
Love is reverence for God as deity, and lust is a desire for the gods, and the 
gods are the lust senses of the brain. The natural side of every man and 
woman is lust. The divine nature of every man and woman is love. Natural 
affection is lust. Divine affection is love. The desire of the senses is sex 
passion. The desire of the soul is divine passion. All lust of the senses 
converge at one point, viz., the sex act. Every motive of the senses con- 
verge at the point of the sex act. Every human is controlled by the sex 
thought, and the gratification of the sex act. Every desire of the soul 
is controlled by the desire to be liberated, from the desire of the senses and 
free from the thought of the sex act, that the soul may be reunited with the 
Father and return to the image of the Father. 

Desire for the pleasure of the senses is lust. Desire for soul purity is 
Christianity. Soul purity is the mind free from every desire of the senses, 
and this is heaven and life eternal. 

—63— 



Lust is sensuous desires and pleasures, and bodily appetites, and sex 
passion. All the desires of the senses and bodily appetites, revolve around 
the thought of sex passion and the sex act. All the sins of the flesh have 
their origin in the sex sin. This is sin, for it has its desire and its origin in 
the mind of the senses, which is of the flesh. It is not of God. It comes 
short of the glory of God. Sin is "missing the mark" of the glory of God. 
Sin is of the senses, and the sex act in thought, and therefore misses the 
mark of God's holiness. For God is holy. He is non-sensuous. There- 
fore "there is no marrying nor giving in marriage in heaven," and Babylon, 
which is the lust senses of the brain, must fall in every man and woman 
before heaven is reached. 

"And the voice of harpers and musicians, and of pipers, and trumpeters, 
shall be heard no more at all in thee; and no craftsman, of whatsoever 
craft he be, shall be found any more in thee; and the sound of a mill stone 
shall be heard no more at all in thee; and the light of a candle shall shine 
no more at all in thee, and the voice of the bridegroom and of the bride 
shall be heard no more at all in thee; for thy merchants were the great men 
of the earth, for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. And in her was 
found the blood of the prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain 
upon the earth." Rev. 18:22-24 verses. The music of the physical 
Babylon, was the music of the lust senses of the brain. Her people were 
devoted to the lust of the flesh. They lived for the gratification of the 
senses and the sex act. Hence, the city was named Babylon, which means 
confusion, that is, the sex act. The true and real Babylon was within the 
senses of the seven lobes of the brains of the men and women who lived 
there. This city of Babylon is in the senses of every man and woman. The 
music of the race is the music of the senses. The harpers and musicians, 
pipers, and trumpeters of the race, are making music to appeal to the senses 
of the brain of men and women, and to cause them to live for passion and to 
copulate. 

When the senses of the brain, which is Babylon, and lust shall have been 
overcome, there will be no more harpers, and pipers, and trumpeters, of 
the senses. There will be no more cabaret dancers, and no more court 
and charity balls, for men and women to swing to the rythm of music, 
while they keep time and step with the imagination of their lust desires for 
the sex act. 

When Babylon falls, that is, when the senses are overcome, in thought 
and desire, there will be "no more craftsman, whatsoever craft he be," for 
there will be no more ambition of the flesh. "And the light of a candle shall 
shine no more at all within thee" — for it will be darkness to those who have 
not overcome the lust of the flesh. "And the voice of the bridegroom and 
the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee" — the lust cells of the brain 

V— 64— 



shall have failed men and women, and there will be no more marrying and 
giving in marriage. "For thy merchants were the great men of the earth 
(the flesh) for by thy sorcerers were all nations deceived.' ' The merchants 
of the earth are the merchants of the senses. They purchase and sell what 
pleases and gratifies the senses of the lust desires of men and women. Ever 
since Adam and Eve indulged in the sex act and created Babylon within 
their own brains, men and women have sought merchandise with which to 
cover up their shame, and with which to adorn their persons so as to appeal 
to the lust of the opposite sex. The sorcerers of Babylon, which is sex mag- 
netism, has deceived all nations. 

"And in her was found the blood of the prophets, and of saints, and of 
all that were slain upon the earth (in the flesh). " Babylon, the love of the 
senses, has had the prophets and saints murdered in all ages. The message 
of the prophets and saints has been in all ages, that lust must be overcome 
for the kingdom of heaven to be reached. Men and women living for the 
Babylon that was within them, that is the lust senses of the brain and the 
sex act, have killed and murdered the prophets and the saints for their 
messages of the truth. The Pharisees and priests of a sensual people in a 
sensual age in their charge against our Lord said "he stirreth up the peo- 
ple.' ' For three years, he walked over the valleys of Galilee and the hills 
of Judea, preaching the divine doctrine that the love of the senses, is hatred 
and death. He said "Who is my mother, and my brother, and my sister? 
He that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." The will of the 
Father is non-sensual. It is not of the senses. It is not of lust. It is not 
of the sex act. It is not of the flesh. It is beyond all that is material, 
human, and the lust of the flesh. 

The Father's will is -divine and love. To do his will, the sensual and 
the love of the flesh must be completely overcome. This is what our Lord 
did, and if we would be his brothers we must overcome as he overcame. 
Again he said "No man can be my disciple lest he hate father and mother, 
brother and sister, wife and children, and yea his own life." The word 
here translated "hate," means to turn from. The affections for father and 
mother, brother and sister, wife and children, and your own human life, are 
based on the senses. They are based on the selfishness of the Babylon within 
men and women — that is on the lust of the flesh. 

The Christ overcame this, and if we would be his disciples, we must 
overcome as he overcame, and this makes all men and women, brothers and 
sisters, and the children of God. 

Again he said, "He that would gain his life unto this world shall lose 
it unto life eternal, and he that would gain life eternal, must lose his life 
unto this world." The phrase here translated "this world," means the 
flesh. To gain the life of the flesh, is to love the flesh. It is of the senses 

—65— 



and the sex act. Worldly men and women, that is men and women, who 
live for the lust of the flesh, will tell you, that if you are going to restrain 
them from the sex act, they would prefer that you would cut their heads 
off. We have personally heard many a lustful man say, "that he would 
prefer his head to be cut off than to be deprived of the sex act." This is 
the class that our Lord said should lose their lives unto the life eternal. 
But he said that those who should lose their lives unto this world, should 
gain them unto the life eternal, that is, those who surrender up the lust 
of the flesh, and overcome the desire of the sex act, in mind and thought, as 
well as in act, as he overcame, shall obtain life eternal. 

This unhuman and divine doctrine that he preached to a carnal age and 
a carnal people, "stirred up the people." And they, through their carnal 
minds had him crucified. A lustful age had stoned and killed the prophets 
before him, for speaking the same truth. A carnal minded race would 
kill and stone the saints today for preaching and teaching Christianity, 
which is the overcoming of lust. The Babylon within men and women, 
which is of the lust senses of their brains and generative organs, would 
crucify the Christ if he were here today, preaching the divine doctrine that 
lust must be overcome for the kingdom of heaven to be reached. 

"And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven 
having great power; and the earth was lighted with his glory." Rev. 18:1. 
The angel that came down from heaven and having great power, was 
symbolic of purity. He is the heavenly vision of purity. He is the mind 
free from the desires of the lust of the flesh and the sex act. 

"And the earth was lighted with his glory." The earth here is the flesh. 
As our minds become pure, our bodies are lighted up with the glories of 
heaven. Our bodies become the temples of the living God. The angel 
of purity, from heaven, within our minds and thoughts, lights up the 
temple of our bodies with the glory of the eternal light of God — that is, 
with the light of good and non-carnality, in thought and desire. 

"And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon, the great, 
is fallen. Is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils and the hole of 
every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird." Rev. 18:4. 

Babylon falls to all who gain an understanding of truth and God, as 
spirit and light, and this understanding is gained as lust is overcome. 
"Babylon is fallen," "is fallen," in the mind and thought of every saint, but 
"she is become the habitation of devils and the hole of every foul spirit, 
and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird," to all those who have not 
overcome lust. 

"The habitation of devils," is within the lust senses of the brain and 
generative organs of every man and woman, and "here is the hole of every 
foul spirit, and the cage of every unclean and hateful bird," — that is, herein 

—66— 



is the seat of Satan, and the source of every foul thought and idea, and 
every unclean and hateful desire. And these are the lust of the flesh and 
the sex act. The woman's generative organs are the gate to Hell — that is 
what the word Babylon means. It means the gate or way to the gods 
(the good of the senses) which is death and Hell. Her generative organs 
are the seat of the diseases of the race. The Sex act is the gate to hell. 

In the thirteenth chapter, nineteenth verse of Isaiah, we have Babylon 
defined. "And Babylon, the glory of the kingdoms, the beauty of the 
Chaldeas excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. " 
Sodom and Gomorrah were physical cities, but the real cities of Sodom and 
Gomorrah existed within the lust senses of the brain, of the men and women 
who dwelt there. Their lust desires and sexual degeneracy created the 
real Sodom and Gomorrah, which God overthrew. God overthrew them 
and their lust. This was the real destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. 

The prophet, Isaiah, speaking of Babylon, in the thirteenth chapter, 
twenty to twenty-second verse, says, "It shall never be inhabited, neither 
shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation ; neither shall the Arabian 
pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there. But 
the wild beasts of the desert shall lie there, and their houses shall be full of 
doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there; and satyrs shall dance there. 
And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and 
dragons in their pleasant palaces; and her time is near to come, and her 
days shall not be prolonged.' ' This is a mental picture of the physical 
city of Babylon, but it is symbolic of the desolation of the spiritual city 
Babylon, with every man and woman, who follows lust to destruction. 
This mental picture of the destruction of the physical city Babylon, rep- 
resents the mental state of every street harlot, as she walks the streets, 
and of every man, who has followed lust to its end, and dies in the haunts 
of the underworld, in the night of spiritual darkness and without God. 
The street harlot, as she walks the streets, smiles to the men, who pass by, 
bidding them follow her, with a smile that is chiseled from the ice of her 
heart of degradation. Her smile of deception comes from a heart that 
speaks a lie, as she bids men to follow her. With her serpent smile, she offers 
them the poison of syphilis, gonorrhea, and leprosy, as a reward for the 
gratification of their lust. And degenerate men follow her to their end and 
destruction. The wild beast and the dragon of the deserted palaces of 
Babylon, dwell within their thoughts and consciousness and lead them on 
to destruction. 

The "satyrs" of the deserted palaces of Babylon, dance within the lust 
senses and thoughts of their brain, until syphilis, gonorrhea and leprosy 
destroys their minds and bodies and sends them to their graves, without 
God. 

—67— 



Jeremiah, in the fifty-first chapter, from sixth to tenth verses, of his 
prophesy, tells us of Babylon. "Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and 
deliver every man his soul; be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time 
of the Lord's vengeance; he will render unto her a recompense." "Baby- 
lon hath been a golden cup in the Lord's hand, that made all the earth 
drunken; the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are 
mad. Babylon is certainly fallen and destroyed; howl for her; take balm 
for her pain, if so be she may be healed. We would have healed Babylon, 
but she is not healed; forsake her, and let us go every one into his own 
country; for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to 
the skies. The Lord hath brought forth our righteousness; come, and let 
us declare in Zion the work of the Lord, our God." 

God is speaking to men and women, down in the Babylon of the city 
of lust, today, just as in the days of yore, when he spoke through the prophet, 
Jeremiah, to men to "flee out of Babylon" and deliver their souls from the 
death of lust, and not "to be cut off in her iniquity." 

Men and women, in all ages, have had Babylon in the lust senses of their 
brains, just as the degenerate people, who inhabited the physical city of 
Babylon, had lust within their brains. 

If men serve the lust of the flesh, the Lord's vengeance will be heaped 
upon them, with disease and insanity, the same as disease and insanity 
were heaped upon the syphilitic people, who inhabited the physical city 
of Babylon, ate, drank and danced, to the music of the senses and indulged 
the lust of the flesh to death. 

The Lord will render recompense unto all, who serve the senses of 
Babylon, and this recompense is disease, insanity, and death. 

The nations are drinking of the wine of Babylon, today, as of yore, and 
therefore, the nations are mad, as of yore. 

The nations of the earth are drunk on the lust senses of the brain. Sex 
and sensuality prevails in the consciousness of the race. While I write, 
all Europe is at war. In fact, nearly all the civilized world is involved in 
the conflict of death, that prevails in Europe Approximately fifty millions 
of men are mobilized by the nations of the earth, for destruction and death. 
Flying machines swarm in the air, like bees, pouring out their vitriol oil 
and fire, and poisonous gases, upon the soldiers and people upon the land 
below, to the end that destruction and death may be produced. This is 
all foretold by the prophet, Daniel, and in Revelation. It is Babylon 
working out her course of destruction. It is the lust within the cells of 
men's brain, creating destruction, confusion and death. It is in the sex 
mind of the race. The Babylon in men make them do this and the Babylon 
in women applaud them while they do it. 

"We would have healed Babylon but she is not healed." God would 

—6$— 



have healed men and women of ancient Babylon, from the lust within 
their own brains, if they had returned unto him. But they would not 
return from the love of the flesh to the love of God, and they were not 
healed. Lust, which was Babylon within their brains, through syphilis, 
gonorrhea, and leprosy, destroyed them. They became diseased in all 
manner and form, and insane, and lust destroyed them, as a people. And 
lust is destroying the race today, as it did the people of Babylon of old. 

"The Lord hath brought forth our righteousness; come, and let us 
declare in Zion the work of the Lord, our God." The Lord bringeth forth 
our righteousness, if we only turn from lust and serve him. Everytime we 
overcome a lustful thought, a righteous thought takes its place, in conscious- 
ness. Every time we overcome a carnal desire, a righteous desire takes its 
place in the mind. Let us, therefore, "declare in Zion the work of the Lord, 
our God. Let us march out of Babylon, into Zion. Let us go from the 
city of the lust senses of the brain, to the city of soul sense and purity. 
This is "marching up to Zion, the beautiful city of God," where the music 
of the holy angels becomes the rythm and the meter of the thoughts and 
desires of our souls. 

"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, come out of her, my 
people, that ye be not partakers of her sin, and that ye receive not of her 
plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven and God hath remem- 
bered her iniquities." Rev. 18:4 and 5. 

The voice that St. John heard from heaven, is the spiritual sense of the 
soul. It is purity, and is saying to every man and woman today, as it has 
in all ages, since the fall, and lust entered into consciousness, "come out" 
of Babylon, and "be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of 
her plagues." Her sins are the lust desires of the flesh. They are the 
desires of the lust senses of the brain and the generative organs. They 
are of the senses. Her plagues are syphilis, gonorrhea, leprosy, deafness, 
blindness, degeneracy, insanity, jealousy, greed, wars, and all the woes 
that afflict the human race. These sins of the lust of the flesh, have reached 
unto heaven and God hath remembered the iniquities of Babylon upon the 
human race. 

If we would be the people of God, we must come out of the city of lust, 
which is Babylon. If we would not partake of her plagues, we must march 
out of this city of the senses, and overcome every thought and desire of the 
lust of the flesh, and go into the city of Zion, where soul purity prevails and 
not a carnal thought is within the consciousness of the mind ; in this city, 
we are healed indeed, from sin and lust and the plagues of Babylon. 

We note here, that only those receive "her plagues" (the plagues of 
Babylon) who are partakers of her "sins." The sins of lust are the sins 
of Babylon. Sex indulgence destroys mind and body. It softens the 

—69— 



brain, produces paralysis, heart failure, Bright's disease, liver troubles, 
and all forms of degeneracy, diseases and insanity. Masturbation leaves 
its mark and trail of insanity and degeneracy. The man who practices 
this unnatural lust weakens his mind, and carries the shame written upon 
his eye. The woman who practices this unnatural lust has the catfish 
mouth. When she opens her mouth to gape, you can see the masturbation 
expression written upon her mouth and face, that is produced by repeated 
self abuse. This is the mark that God put upon Cain. It is the mark of 
sin. These people have sin and guilt within their consciousness, and are 
prudes. Shame is within their minds, and is expressed upon their faces. 
The continued indulgence of lust, weakens the mind. We have seen 
lawyers, in the courthouse, lose their cases, as the result of having too 
much wife. They get to where they cannot think systematically. Con- 
tinuity of thought fails them. We have seen ministers in the pulpit, who 
had neither head nor tails, continuity nor system, to their discourses, as a 
result of having too much wife, or as the result of masturbation. Their 
minds had been destroyed through the lust of Babylon. We have seen 
women, pale and emaciated, with glassy eyes and weak minds, as a result 
of having too much husband, or as the result of practicing self abuse. 
Every age is diseased and insane, as a result of the sins of Babylon, which is 
lust. 

God's people must come out of Babylon, that is, out of lust, and into 
purity, if they would not be partakers of the sins of Babylon, and receive 
not of her plagues. 

"If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord, thy God, and 
wilt do that which is right in his sight, and will give ear to his command- 
ments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, 
which I have brought upon the Egyptians; for I am the Lord that healeth 
thee." Ex. 15:26. 

The diseases of the Egyptians were the diseases of Babylon. They 
were the diseases of lust. The Egyptians were an idolatrous race. They 
were sex worshippers. Lust was their religion. Men were cohabiting with 
men, and women with women, and men and women were cohabiting with 
the lower animals in Egypt; and the Egyptian pagan priests were cohabiting 
with the dead bodies of the opposite sex; as the result of this lustful state 
of mind the Egyptians were diseased. They were diseased with leprosy, 
syphilis, and gonorrhea, in all their forms and conditions, as a result of their 
lustful state of mind. We have the diseases of the Egyptians defined, in 
the twenty-eighth chapter of Deuteronomy, twenty-seventh and twenty- 
eighth verses. "The Lord will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and 
with emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst 
not be healed. The Lord shall smite thee with madness, andlblindness, 

—70— 



and astonishment of the heart." "Emerods" is a private disease, but 
not of the generative organs. Emerods are brought on as the result of 
sexual dissipation, and the scabs of Egypt are the syphilitic sores. "Mad- 
ness" is insanity, and is the result of lust. The insane asylums are filled 
"with the madness of Egypt" — with men and women who have softening 
of the brain, and diseased brains, as a result of over sex indulgence and 
masturbation. 

The streets and roadsides of the world today, are filled with blind 
beggars, as a result of syphilis and gonorrhea. 

All Egypt was filled with blind beggars, as a result of syphilis and 
gonorrhea, in the days of Moses. 

This was the condition of thought of the Egyptians, when Moses was 
commanded to lead the children of Israel, out of the darkness and lust of 
Egypt. 

The Canaanites were likewise a pagan people and were worshipping 
the lust senses of the brain and their men cohabiting with men, and their 
women with women, and their men and women cohabiting with the lower 
animals. And they were diseased with syphilis, gonorrhea, insanity, and 
leprosy, and all forms of diseases, as a result of their lust. 

The Israelites were commanded to drive them out of the land, and "to 
do none of the abominable things" that the Canaanites and Egyptians did. 

"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind; it is an abomin- 
ation. Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith; 
neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto ; it is con- 
fusion. Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things; for in all these the 
nations are defiled which I cast out before you." Lev. 18:22, 24. 

Here we see that the Canaanites were cohabiting with lower animals, 
and their men were cohabiting with men, and their women with women. 
Their women were cohabiting with the lower beasts. These degraded 
states of lust were their gods. As a race they were eaten up with syphilis 
and leprosy, as a result of their lust. 

The children of Israel were commanded to drive them out of the land 
of Canaan, and not to intermarry nor cohabit with them. The children 
of Israel had to drive out the physical Canaanites. 

This was all symbolic. The real Canaanites were in the lust senses of 
the brain of the children of Israel, and the lust thoughts and desires of the 
cells of the brain, were the Canaanites that they had to drive out of their 
own consciousness, in order to inhabit the true land of the spiritual Canaan. 
And every man and woman must drive the Canaanite of the lust senses of 
the brain out of thought in order to inhabit the true Canaan of spirit and 
truth. 

"If thou wilt diligently hearken unto the voice of the Lord, thy God, and 



-71- 



wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his countenance, 
and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases, upon thee, which 
I have brought upon the Egyptians; for I am the Lord that healeth thee." 
Ex. 15:26. 

The Egyptians were diseased as the result of lust. "To do that which 
is right in the sight of the Lord," is to overcome lust. 

"And to give ear to his commandments" is to overcome lust. 

"And to keep all of his statutes," is to overcome lust. His command- 
ments and his statutes are of spiritual sense, and those who live in this 
state of spiritual purity, have not the diseases which the Egyptians had; 
they are not afflicted with insanity, blindness, deafness, and all other 
diseases that lust produces. 

"I am the Lord that healeth thee." The spiritual sense of being, heals 
from the diseases of carnality and lust. 

The mind that loves lust produces the diseases of the flesh. 

The mind that is pure and free from the love of the flesh, heals the flesh 
from the diseases of lust. 

"Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after 
their works; but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down 
their images. And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he shall bless thy 
bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee." 
Ex. 23:24, 25. 

The gods here, that the children of Israel were told not to serve, were 
the gods of the Hittites, and the Amorites, and of the Perizzities, and of 
the Canaanites, and of the Hivites, and the Jebusites. The gods of these 
pagan peoples were located in the senses of the seven lobes of the brain, and 
the senses of the generative organs. Their religion was lust. They had 
material images erected all over their land, which were symbolic of their 
state of thought. These images were symbolic of their ideas. They were 
the symbols of the carnal ideas of these pagan peoples. 

The children of Israel were commanded not to "do after the works" of 
these pagans, but to serve the true God of spirit. 

These pagans, who worshipped the senses of their brains and generative 
organs as their gods, were diseased. 

God told the children of Israel not to worship these gods of the senses, 
as did the pagans, but to worship him, as the true God of Spirit, and he 
"would take sickness away" from their midst. 

Where purity is, sickness cannot be. When lust shall have been over- 
come, there will be no more sickness. 

"The Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing; thou wilt 
make all his bed in his sickness. I said, Lord, be merciful unto me; heal 
my soul; for I have sinned against thee. Mine enemies speak evil of me, 
when shall he die and his name perish?" Psalms 41:3-5. 

—72— 



Davis here says "the Lord will heal his soul," and when the soul is 
healed from sin and lust, disease is healed. 

David says "the Lord will strengthen him upon the bed of languish- 
ing/ ' The sick beds are filled, as the result of lust. The serpent fills the 
hospitals of the world. Those who are healed of the serpent and of lust, 
are strengthened on the languishing beds. They are healed, indeed! Their 
minds have been healed of lust desires. 

David says, "Mine eyes speak evil of us." David's enemies were 
in the lust senses of his brain. These enemies of every man and woman, 
speak evil, and when they are overcome, disease and death are overcome, 

"The Lord doth build up Jerusalem; he gathereth together the outcast 
of Israel. He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." 
Psalms 147:2-3. 

We build up Jerusalem with our own souls, as we overcome carnality 
and lust. Jerusalem is the city of purity, and "the outcast of Israel are 
gathered together," in the Holy City of purity as the lust of the flesh is 
overcome, and this state of mind, which knows not the lust of flesh, healeth 
the broken hearted and bindeth up the wounds, which are the results of the 
lust and disease. 

"I have seen his ways, and I will heal him; I will lead him also, and 
restore comforts unto him and to his mourners. I create the fruit of the 
lips; Peace, peace, to him that is afar off, and to him that is near sayeth 
the Lord; and I will heal him. But the wicked are like the troubled sea, 
when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt. There is no peace, 
sayeth my God for the wicked." Isaiah 57:18-21. 

We are here told that the "sea" is the sex mind. It is Babylon's wick- 
edness. It is the senses of the brain and the generative organs. It is the 
mind that shall^give up the dead, when sin and lust shall have been over- 
come. Those who are living within this sea of the senses of the brain, and 
for the lust of the flesh, have no rest. They have no peace. There is no 
peace for the wicked. They are diseased and insane, as the result of lust. 
They are in a mental turmoil as a result of the war of the senses. And this 
state of mind diseases their minds and bodies. 

But he, who turns from this sea of the senses, to the calmness of soul, 
has everlasting peace, and is healed from sin and disease. 

There is no disease of the body, if the mind is pure enough, that the 
mind will not heal. There is no disease of the flesh, that holiness will not 
cure, for we are told in Revelation, "that there is no more curse" in the 
Holy City. 

The diseases of the body, which afflict the human race, are the results 
of the lust of the flesh. They are the results of the mind loving the flesh. 
When the love of the flesh shall have been overcome, and there is no more 
lust within the mind, there will be no more diseases and "no more curse."

CHAPTER VI. 

4 'And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for 
no man buyeth their merchandise any more; the merchandise of gold, and 
silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and of fine linen, and purple 
and silk, and scarlet and all thyine wood (sweet wood), and all manner of 
vessels of ivory, and all manner of vessels of most precious wood, and 
of brass, and iron, and marble, and cinnamon, and odors, and ointments, 
and frank incense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, 
and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves (bodies), and souls of men/' 
Rev. 18:11 to 13. 

This is "that great city of Babylon, that mighty city," "for in one hour 
is thy judgment come." Rev. 18:10. 

It is the city of the senses of the brain, and of the generative organs, and 
we have here described everything that a man and woman wear, on their 
persons, to appeal to the passion and lust of the opposite sex. We, even 
here, have described the ointments, and oils, and frank incense, and per- 
fumes, that each sex uses upon their person to arouse the lust of the opposite 
sex. Even the odors and ointments that the evil minded woman places 
upon and in her sexual organs to arouse the lust of men are here described. 
The odors and the incenses that arouse the senses and appeal to the appe- 
tite of lust are here enumerated. The things that are used by every prosti- 
tute and woman at court are here described. 

The sweet woods, and their incense, which appeal to passion, are here 
enumerated. These are the things that the social woman uses to adorn her 
person to hold the lust of her man. 

The gold, silver, and precious stones, with whicheach sex adorns his, 
or her, person, are here enumerated. 

The fine linens, and pearls, and silk, and scarlet, with which the vanity 
of the flesh bedecks itself, are here set forth. 

The wine, that the senses feed upon, to arouse the lust of the flesh, is 
here named. 

The fine flour, the wheat, and the beast, and the sheep, upon which the 
sensual feeds the senses that the lust may be indulged, are here named. 

The horses and chariots, that the vanity of the flesh use to display its 
lust and pride, are set forth. 

And finally the slaves (the bodies) and souls of men, are named. The 
word here translated "slaves," in the original, reads "bodies." 

—74—

Babylon, which is the lust of the flesh, trades in the bodies and destroys 
both the bodies and the souls of men. It diseases the bodies of men with 
syphilis, gonorrhea, and leprosy, blindness, deafness, dumbness, sores, 
aches and pains, and finally curses the soul. 

"They traded the persons of men and vessels of brass, in thy market. " 
Ezekial 27:13. They traded in the bodies of men as merchandise and 
used the bodies of the women of the slaves for lust, and lust is making a 
slave out of the body today as of old. 

The senses trade the soul away for a "mess of pottage" of lust, and the 
soul dies spiritually. 

The Hebrews were in bondage, down in Egypt, and the bondage was 
a sensual one. They were in the Babylon of the senses of the brain in 
thought. 

In Egypt, the purity of the soul was traded away, for a mess of pottage 
of lust, and men and women today are trading their souls away, for a "mess 
of pottage" of lust, and their bodies are diseased as a result. 

In the eighteenth chapter of Revelation, twelfth to thirteenth verses, 
we have described the goods of the merchants of the world, and the merchan- 
dise of the merchants of all ages. The merchandise here described are the 
things which men and women bedeck their persons with to arouse the lust 
and passion of the opposite sex. 

When Babylon shall fall within the consciousness of men and women, 
the merchants of the earth will have no port into which to bring their 
merchandise. 

When lust shall have been overcome, the vanity of the flesh shall have 
been overcome, and there will no longer be a demand for the merchandise 
of the merchants of the earth. 

"And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and 
all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou 
shalt find them no more at all." Rev. 18:14. 

Here we have hell described. Here we have the state of the mind 
which has lived for the lust of the flesh, and now cannot gratify the lust 
of the flesh. This is hell. The senses have departed, but the mind still 
desires to gratify the senses. This consuming fire of lust within the mind, 
is the lake of fire and brimstone that burneth forever in the consciousness 
of those, who do not overcome. 

"And here is the mind which has wisdom. The seven heads are seven 
mountains on which the women sitteth." Rev. 17:9. 

"Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number 
of the beast; for it is the number of a man; and his number is six hundred 
three score and six." Rev. 13:18. 

Wisdom is spiritual understanding. It is the purity of the mind. It 

—77— 



is the mind free from the lust of the flesh. Those who have this spiritual 
understanding, have wisdom, and can see the iniquity of the lust of the 
flesh and understand its evil workings and deceptions. 

When Solomon was made King of Israel, the Lord asked him what he 
wished for most, and Solomon's answer was "Lord give me wisdom." 

Wisdom is not of the senses. It is the spiritual understanding of the 
soul. Solomon needed this wisdom, as the King of Israel and to govern 
the Jews, who were going off after the strange gods of the lust of the flesh, 
and becoming cbntaminated with the pagan religions of the senses, of the 
pagan peoples all around them. 

"The seven heads are the seven mountains upon which the woman 
sitteth," is clear to all, who have spiritual understanding. Those who have 
wisdom can see these "seven heads and seven mountains upon which the 
woman sitteth." There are the seven lobes in the brain and they are the 
seven heads upon which she sitteth. The nerve cells of the seven lobes of 
the brain are directly connected with the generative organs. The nerve 
cells of the seven lobes of the brain which are connected directly with the 
nerve cells of the generative organs constitute the seven heads of the 
serpent. 

He that hath wisdom, that is spiritual understanding, can see these 
seven heads of the serpent as they telegraph the mental impulses of jeal- 
ousy, vanity, and pride, to the senses of the seven lobes of the brain, and 
are expressed in the eye, and upon the face. 

The kings of the earth are controlled by these seven heads of the serpent, 
and the seven mountains upon which a woman sitteth. 

Woman, through her sex force, controls every throne and government, 
in the world, and has through ail the ages, and will continue to do so, until 
the end of time. 

"And there are seven kings; five are fallen and one is, and the other is 
not yet come; and when he cometh he must continue a short space." Rev. 
17:10. 

Here we have seven governments founded upon the senses of the seven 
lobes of the brain. Five had come and gone. One then existed, which 
was the Roman empire. The seventh was to come and was to continue for 
a short time. 

Everything of the senses is of short duration, but spiritual sense is for- 
ever. 

The seven mountains which constitute the seven heads upon which a 
woman sitteth, are the senses of the seven lobes of the brain and the gen- 
erative organs. 

Six hundred, three score and six, in Revelation, thirteenth chapter, 
eighteenth verse, is the number of the beast, and is called a man. This 

—78— 



number represents the number of the male sex mind. It represents the 
lust and beast within man. These two, that is the number of a man and 
the seven mountains upon which a woman sitteth, constitute the beast in 
the male and female. They constitute the sex act. The two constitute 
the lust that unites the woman and man, and upon this beast which is the 
lust of the man for the woman, and the woman for the man, is founded 
the governments of the earth. 

"And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received 
no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. 
These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the 
beast." Rev. 17:12 and 13. 

Here are the ten kingdoms, or governments, which are represented by 
ten horns of the beast, which are to rise and to receive power for one hour 
with the beast. Human governments rise through the influence of the 
senses, and are constructed upon the senses, and like human flesh they 
soon become diseased, rotten, and decayed, as a result of the flesh and the 
vain ambition of the flesh. They have one mind, and this mind is of the 
senses of the flesh, and they give their power and strength unto the beast, 
and they perish. Wars, and rumor of wars, struggle within the conscious- 
ness of the human race, and governments totter and fall, as the result of the 
vain ambitions of the flesh. Every means of destroying human life is 
conceived by the sex and sensual mind. Human governments are over- 
thrown through the selfishness, vanities, and ambitions of the sex and 
sensual mind. Sex constructs human governments and sex destroys them. 
The beast populates the earth, and then the beast depopulates the earth. 

Were it not for wars, and for syphilis, and the diseases which the beast 
produces, the beast would populate the earth, so thickly, that it would be 
impossible to feed them. The beast, through lust, produces them, and then 
the beast, through wars, lust and plagues, and diseases, destroys them. 

"These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome 
them; for he is Lord of lords and King of kings; and they that are with him 
are called and chosen and faithful." Rev. 17:14. 

The senses of the brain and generative organs upon which human 
governments are founded, shall make war upon the Lamb, and the Lamb 
shall overcome them. The Lamb is symbolic of humility, innocency, and 
purity. The Lamb is symbolic of the Christ mind, and the Christ mind is 
purity. There is not a sensual idea or thought in the Christ mind. The 
senses shall make war with the Christ mind. Lust shall make war with 
purity, but the Lamb, which is the Christ, and the Christ is purity, shall 
overcome them — the senses and the lust of the flesh. "For he is Lord of 
lords and King of kings." 

Purity is sovereignty in spirit life. "Lord" means bread furnisher. 

—79— 



The human lords, in ancient times, supplied the material bread for their 
servants and serfs. Our Lord said "I am the bread of life." His bread is 
spiritual food. His bread is spiritual life to the soul. Our Lord said, "He 
that eateth of this bread shall never die." The human man eats of the 
material bread, supplied by his human lord, but he that eats of the spirit- 
ual bread, which the Lord, Jesus Christ, giveth, shall never die. 

The Word "Christ" means Anointed, and the word "Anointed" means 
the life of God, or the life of good. Good is non-carnal, and evil is carnality. 
Good is life, and carnality is death. The English word "God" is a con- 
traction of the Anglo-Saxon "Good." 

St. John tells us that "God is Love," that is, "good is love," and good 
is spirit. Evil is matter. It is the lust of the flesh. It is hatred. Our 
Lord said "God is spirit," that is, "good is spirit." Evil is the opposite of 
this, which is matter and the lust of the flesh. Man, made in God's image, 
only knew good — that is God, who is spirit, and had life, until the fall, when 
he became conscious of evil — that is matter, the lust of the flesh — and died. 

"And they that are with him are called,' chosen, and faithful." Those 
who are with the Lamb are pure. They have overcome the lust of the 
flesh. They are "faithful." For "his servant serve him." He has 
overcome the lust of the flesh, and serve the Christ. He has no desire 
to gratify the senses of the flesh, and his desire is to praise the holy name 
of the Father, as the Creator of all life. He praises him through the 
purity of soul sense. 

We are taught that God made man to glorify him — that is man was 
made to glorify God as Spirit. Man cannot glorify God as Spirit and as 
his Creator, until he has overcome the lust of the flesh and death. Man 
cannot glorify God with a corrupt mind or the lust of the flesh, for man to 
glorify God, man's thoughts must become pure and holy, and like the 
thoughts of the Father. Man's ideas and thoughts must emanate from 
the mind of the Father, and not from the lust of the flesh, if man would 
glorify God, the Father. 

"And the woman which thou sawest in that great city, which reigneth 
over the kings of the earth." Rev. 17:_18. 

"That great city" is defined in the sixteenth chapter and nineteenth 
verse, of Revelation, as "Babylon." And "Babylon," as we have said, 
is the city of the senses of the seven lobes of the brain and generative organs. 
This city, of the lust senses of the brain and generative organs, reigneth 
over the kings of the earth. It ruleth here, in the kingdom of the flesh. 
And when this kingdom of the senses of the brain and generative organs, 
shall fall, there will be no more merchandise, and no more human govern- 
ments. The Holy City of the New Jerusalem will then come into the con- 
sciousness, and the^spiritual sense of being will then be realized. This is 

—80— 



the kingdom of God, that is, the kingdom of good. This kingdom of good 
is the spiritual sense of being. The kingdom of evil is the material sense 
of being. The spiritual sense of being is free from the lust of the flesh. The 
material sense of being is the kingdom of the lust of the flesh, and the love 
of the lust of the flesh. 

St. John tells us that "the Holy City is pure gold." It is the conscious- 
ness of the complete spiritual sense of being. St. John tells us in Reve- 
lation that "the Holy City has twelve gates." This is twelve as a heavenly 
number. It is the spiritual sense of being. The twelve months of the 
year, 'which control the senses of the seven lobes of the brain, represent 
twelve as an earthly number — that is, the material sense of being, and the 
mind of the lust of the flesh. 

Again St. John tells us, in Revelation, that "the walls of the city of the 
New Jerusalem, had twelve foundations, and in them the twelve apostles 
of the Lamb." 

Again he says that it has twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, 
and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the 
children of Israel. 

Thus St. John describes "that great city, the Holy Jerusalem, descend- 
ing out of heaven from God, having the glory of God." 

Here we have twelve used as the symbol of the complete spiritual 
sense of being. "Twelve," as the symbol of material sense of being, has 
gone out of consciousness. The senses of the seven lobes of the brain, and 
of the generative organs, as influenced and controlled, by the twelve 
months of the year, and the solar system, have been overcome, and the 
spiritual sense of being has been gained, completely, in mind, thought and 
consciousness. Those, in this state of consciousness, have gained the 
victory over the beast, and are within the Holy City. 

St. John tells us "And he that talked with me had a golden reed to meas- 
ure the city, and the gates thereof, and the walls thereof." Rev. 21:14. 

He that talked with St. John was the angel, and the communion be- 
tween the angel and St. John was through the spiritual sense of being and 
of the the soul. This spiritual sense of beinjg and purity of soul is "the 
golden reed that shall measure the Holy City within the mind of every 
soul that gains the victory over the beast of the lust of the flesh. 

St. John tells us "and I saw no temple therein (Holy City), for the Lord 
God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it." 

This is the temple that King Solomon said should live forever and in 
which King Solomon said, God should reign forever. It is the temple of 
the spiritual body, purified and redeemed from matter and the lust of the 
flesh. The golden temple that King Solomon constructed in Jerusalem 
was only symbolic of this spiritual city, and the Holy City. There is no 

—81— 



matter in this spiritual temple which is the spiritual body, nor in the Holy 
City, for "the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it." 
"God is spirit," and the Lamb is purity. The spiritual sense of being will 
be the Life and the light thereof. 

"And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it, 
and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honor into it. Rev. 21 :24. 

We note here that only the nations of them who are saved, shall walk 
in the light of the Holy City. Only those who have overcome the lust of 
the flesh shall see through the light of the spiritual sense of being. Those, 
who have not overcome the lust of the flesh, will still be in the conscious- 
ness of the material sense of being, and in outer darkness. This is the 
earth (the flesh and matter) that abideth forever. 

"And the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honor into it." 
"Earth" here means flesh. The kings of human governments and of the flesh 
shall surrender and do honor to the glory of the Holy City. They shall 
realize, as our Lord said, that the "flesh profiteth nothing," and they shall 
do honor to the Holy City. 

Isaiah saw this Holy City in the conclusion of his prophecy, "for as the 
new heavens and the new earth, which I will make shall remain before me, 
saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain. And it shall 
come to pass that from one new moon to another new moon, and "from one 
sabbath to next sabbath," so reads the original, and from one sabbath to 
another; shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord. And 
they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have trans- 
gressed against me; for their worms shall not die neither shall their fire be 
quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh." Isaiah 66:22. 

The new heavens and the new earth, which Isaiah saw and which the Lord 
said should remain before him, is the same new heavens and new earth that 
St. Peter speaks of, "Wherein dwelleth righteousness." This right- 
eousness is the Holy and spiritual sense of being, wherein spiritual ideas 
and not carnal ideas are in the mind. Second Peter, third chapter, and 
thirteenth verse, "it is the same: new heaven and new earth," that St. 
John saw in Revelation 21:1. 

St. John says, "for the first heaven and first earth have passed away, 
and there was no more sea." The material sense of being and the lust of 
the flesh have gone out of the mind and the consciousness. 

"Sea" here is the sensual mind, which is controlled by the solar system. 
It is the senses and the material sense of being. 

"The new heaven and the new earth" is the spiritual sense of being. 
There is no sea there — that is, there is nothing sensual in the Holy City. 

St. John describes this new heaven and new earth as "the Holy City," 
in Revelation. 

—82— 



"And I, John, saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down from 
God, out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I 
heard a great voice out of heaven, saying, behold, the tabernacle of God is 
with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and 
God, himself, shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe 
away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither 
sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain; for the former 
things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, behold I 
make all things new. And he said unto me, write; for these words are true 
and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done." Rev. 21:2-6. 

Here, we see that St. John saw the Holy City, of the New Jerusalem, 
coming down from God, out of heaven. That is, the Holy City came down 
from the consciousness of good, and the spiritual sense of being. God is 
a contraction of the word "good," and heaven is the spiritual sense of 
being; and all good is in the spiritual sense of being, and not in matter 
and of the flesh. 

St. John did not perceive the Holy City through the material senses 
of the brain, but he saw it with the eye of mind, purified from the lust of 
the flesh, and the senses; and he saw the Holy City "prepared as a bride 
adorned for her husband." The bride is presumed to be pure. She is pre- 
sumed to have never known a man sexually. 

The bride of the Lamb is the church, and the church is composed of the 
pure in heart. (The Pure in Thought.) 

St. John tells us "that God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes 
and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall 
there be any more pain, for the former things have passed away." 

The things of the senses are gone. The lust of the flesh has been over- 
come by those who are in the Holy City. Hence, there are no more tears 
within their eyes, and there shall be no more death, for there shall be no 
more lust or love for the flesh there. Neither shall there be any more 
sorrow, or pain there. Every heartache, and every tear, which has been 
shed by weeping eyes since Adam and Eve fell, can be traced directly, or 
indirectly, to sex and the lust of the flesh. 

All the sorrow, crying, and pain of the race, since the fall of Adam and 
Eve, can be traced directly, or indirectly to lust and sex.. 

The woman was told, that "in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children." 
Every pain, that strikes a mother, in childbirth, and darts through the 
brain, like the arrow of Death, is a fulfillment of this Scripture. These 
pains of childbirth are the result of the belief of the lie of the serpent, that 
there is pleasure in matter and the sex act. If the woman is lustful enough 
to believe the lie of the serpent that there is pleasure in the senses and the 
sex act, she must suffer the pain of the senses. 

—83— 



In the New Jerusalem, there will be no belief of the lie of the serpent, 
that there is pleasure in matter and the lust of the flesh. Hence, there 
will be no more pain there, and "no tears, no sorrow, and no death." 

The law of truth will be the law of life there, for all things shall have 
been made new. For "it is done." 

But to those who have not overcome the belief of pleasure in matter 
and the lust of the flesh, the law of the serpent will be the law of death unto 
them. 

Those who are living in the state of thought of the serpent are in tears, 
sorrow, pain, and death. They are murdering each other, through jeal- 
ousy. They are deceiving each other through greed and jealousy. They 
are in pain, and afflicted with sores, blindness, deafness, dumbness, paraly- 
sis, insanity, and all manner of diseases, through the lust of the flesh. 

The change, called death, will not relieve them of this state of mind, 
which produces these diseases, until this carnal state of mind is overcome. 

The adulterer is still the adulterer, and the fornicator is still the forni- 
cator, and the insane is still insane. 

It is known to be a fact, that the sheepherders on the plains where the 
men are for months- and years, and do not see a woman and cohabit with 
the sheep, go insane. This practice is prevalent among these men, and 
insanity is prevalent among them. We have personally conversed with 
a man who was on the plains of Texas, as a sheepherder for years, and he 
tells us that this practice was prevalent among the men, and insanity 
followed, as the result. 

We have a physician friend, who tells us that he had a patient who was 
a herder of sheep, and who lived this lonely life, and practiced this abuse 
of nature with the sheep, and softening of the brain followed, as a result. 
Truly, "the wages of sin is death." 

"And the rest of the men, which were not killed by these plagues, yet 
repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship 
devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood; 
which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk; neither repented they of their 
murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts." 
Rev. 9:20-21. 

In the context of the Scripture here quoted is described the sex or sens- 
ual mind working out its law of destruction. The entire ninth chapter of 
Revelation is the sex or sensual mind working out its destruction. The 
"armies and horsemen with their breastplates of fire and of brimstone," 
as described in this chapter of Revelation, is almost an exact description 
of the means of destruction used in the world war that is now raging. The 
methods used now in the destruction of human life is all described in Rev- 
elation. It is the sex mind working out its law of selfishness, hatred and 

—84— 



destruction. These are the plagues of destruction and they are of the 
senses. St. John tells us in the eleventh verse of the ninth chapter of 
Revelation, "And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the 
bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the 
Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon." Apollyon means a destroyer, that 
is what the word in the original Greek means. Lust is a destroyer. The 
serpent destroys every thing that he touches with his poison. Lust is 
the king of the carnal man. He lives, serves and dies for this king of 
destruction and death. 

St. John tells us that "they had a king over them," and that his name 
was Apollyon." The race is ruled by the king of lust. This is the king 
that is over the people, and as they serve this king of lust and destruction 
they go forth to murder and kill each other. The sex mind invents every 
method of war and destruction. Then through selfishness and hatred 
they go forth destroying each other. This Apollyon, which means destroy- 
er, isl ust and destroying some through wars, others through epedemics- 
others through syphilitic plagues, others through insanity. "And the rest 
of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the 
works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of 
gold, and silver, and brass and stones, and of wood; which neither can see, 
nor hear, nor walk." In the seventeenth chapter of Lev. seventh verse, 
we have devils defined as follows: "And they shall no more offer their 
sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring." We here 
see that devils are the lust of the flesh. The devil is the sex act. These 
pagans lived for the senses and the sex act, and they offered sacrifices to 
them. The children of Israel were told not to eat the blood of any manner 
of flesh, "for it is the life of all flesh." See Lev. 17:14. The pagans were 
blood thirsty. They drank fresh blood from animals and human beings 
that they might increase their physical vitality and indulge their lust. 
The children of Israel were told not to do any of these things. "I will even 
set my face against that soul that eateth blood and will cut him off from 
his people." The lust of the flesh is of the devil and is the devil. "They 
sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new 
gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not. Of the Rock that 
begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee." 
Deut. 32:17-18. Here we see the devils to whom they offered sacrifices 
were not the true God. That is not the God of Truth. 

These devils to whom they offered sacrifices were the devils of the 
senses. They were the carnal ideas and desires of the senses of the brain. 
They were lust, and the people who served the gods of the senses were un- 
mindful of the true God who had begotten and formed them. They were 
unmindful of the Rock that begat them. Men and women in all ages who 

—85— 



have served the senses and the lust of the flesh have been unmindful of the 
Spirit, that is, the true God who begot and formed them. They have been 
unmindful of the Rock that begat them. The God of Truth, who is Spirit, 
begets all that is real. All that is real is Mind, but men and women who are 
carnal in their thoughts serve the lust of the flesh and the senses, and not 
the true God of Spirit, and this is serving devils. 

"Yea they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils. Ps. 
106:37. 

The pagans and sex worshippers were so deep in lust that they were in 
such a dark and remorseful state of consciousness that they offered their 
own children to appease their own lust. They burnt their own children in 
flames of fires as an offering to the senses. This evil was within themselves. 
It was their own carnal state of consciousness that made them do this. 
When the children of Israel went after the strange gods of the lust of the 
flesh and reached this remorseful state of consciousness they burnt their 
children too in the flames of Moloch. The children of Israel were com- 
manded under the Mosaic law not to serve carnality and the lust of the 
flesh, and not to offer their children in the flames of Moloch. 

They were commanded to serve the true God of Spirit and not the false 
gods of the senses, and not to offer up their children in the flames of Moloch. 
By keeping their minds pure and free from the love of the flesh they served 
the true God and did not desire to burn their children in flames, as a sacri- 
fice to the lust of the senses and of the flesh as devils. 

"But I say, that the things that the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to 
devils." 

"Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils; ye cannot 
partake of the Lord's table and the table of devils. ,, 1. Cor. 10-21. 

The word here translated Gentile means earth or the senses, that is mat- 
ter. It is sometimes translated pagan and heathen. The terms are identical 
and mean the senses or matter. That is flesh. The Gentile, (pagan and 
heathen) is one who serves the senses and lives for the lust of the flesh. He 
who sacrifices to the senses and the lust of the flesh sacrifices to devils. He 
that -overcomes the senses and the lust of the flesh is a Christian and sacri- 
fices to the true God, and eats at the table of the Lord's true spiritual supper. 
All who have fellowship with the senses and the lust of the flesh have fel- 
lowship with devils. All those who overcome the senses and the lust of 
the flesh have fellowship with the Christ and life eternal. 

These devils which are within the lust senses of the brain and the gen- 
erative organs, and the desire of the lust of the flesh, are the Apollyon that 
St. John speaks of in the ninth chapter of Revelation and eleventh verse. 
Apollyon means a destroyer, as we have said. The lust of the flesh de- 
stroys all that it touches. It is estimated that over eighty-five per cent, of

the men in the age in which I write are diseased with syphilis, gonorrhea, 
and" leprosy; and that over fifty-five per cent, of the married women are 
diseased from their husbands. Over ninety per cent, of the public prosti- 
tutes of the world are diseased. Over ninety per cent, of the human race 
spill the sex seed sometime in life through self-abuse, and that over five 
per cent, of the human race that die between puberty and maturity, die 
from self-abuse. Over twenty-five per cent, of the men in cities of fifty 
thousand people are syphilitic, and over ten per cent, of the human family 
between the ages of puberty and maturity are sex degenerates in an un- 
natural way. There are women loving women for sex purposes and men 
loving men for sex purposes. Men and women both lust after and indulge 
unnaturally with the lower animals. 

These conditions produce insanity, softening of the brain and death. 
They are in violation of the spiritual and natural law of God. St. John 
tells us "And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottom- 
less pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek 
tongue hath his name Apollyon"; that is to say a destroyer. The king 
that is over the race and is ruling the race, is the king of lust and he is the 
angel of the bottomless pit. Angel means a messenger and this messenger 
or angel of the bottomless pit is the destroyer that is destroying the race. 
St. John describes these weapons of lust as "tails like unto scorpions," "and 
they hadstingers in their tails." This is a fine symbolic expression of the 
syphilitic germs as they go darting through the blood of the human body, 
producing disease and insanity. "And they had a king over them," and 
this king which is the mind of lust has produced this syphilitic germ in all 
ages, and has destroyed the race with rotten and decayed flesh and diseased 
brain. Go into any undertaking establishment and there you will see the 
diseased bodies with syphilitic holes in them. 

Go to any insane asylum and witness the raging maniacs as the result 
of syphilis, unnatural sex-indulgence and self-abuse, and you will see the 
evidence of this king whose name is Apollyon, that is destroyer, which is 
destroying the human race. 

His name is the lust of the flesh. To realize the conception of his 
destructive force upon the human race, we only have to conceive in our 
mind's eye of the wasted sex fluid that has been unnaturally and unholy 
spilled through the ages of the human family. To conceive of this mental 
picture, is to conceive of the cause that brought on the flood and destroyed 
the race, and to conceive of this mental picture is to conceive of the cause 
that has diseased the race in all ages, and will disease it until it destroys 
itself. This is the unrighteousness that God will judge and his name is 
Apollyon, the destroyer of the race. His name is lust. But there is 
another King and his name is the Christ. That is the Life, and He is the 
Life to all who overcome lust. 

. -89- 



Isaiah describes this Apollyon which is the destroyer of the race as it 
goes on eating away the minds and bodies of the human race. He says, 
"And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcaess of the men that have 
transgressed against me; for their worm shall not die, neither shall their 
fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhoring to all flesh." Isa. 66:24. 

Go into any hospital and there you will see this scripture fulfilled. There 
you will see men and women diseased as the result of lust until it will make 
your flesh creep and crawl upon you, the mental picture is "abhoring.'' 

Go to any insane asylum and there you will see this passage of scripture 
fulfilled. There you will see the weak minded and the mentally diseased 
as the result of lust. The destroyer which is lust gets all that obey 
his command. All who serve the gods of the senses pay the penalty with 
disease and pain. All who serve devils carry the result in their minds and 
bodies. All who serve the lust of the flesh die. They serve idols, that is 
the desires of the senses. 

Daniel describes idolatry in the fifth chapter of Daniel. He describes 
the pride of the senses of Nebuchadnezzar. This pride of the senses of 
Nebuchadnezzar was in the brain and generative organs. Nebuchadnezzar 
was king of Babylon and Babylon is the city of the senses. This king of the 
city of the senses became stiffnecked with the will of the flesh until God 
drove him from the throne of the senses and from the sons of men, 'and his 
dwelling became the place of the wild asses, and his heart like the beasts 
and they fed him with grass like the oxen. 

Thus God humbled him from the will power of the flesh until he came 
to realize that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men. Belshazzar, 
who followed him upon the throne was an idolator; he too lived in the will 
and desire of the senses, he too lived in the power of the sex mind, not- 
withstanding the lesson of his father, he did not humble the will power 
of the flesh and the sex mind and serve the true God of Spirit. 

He brought the vessels of the temple and the house of God and used 
them for his lords, wives and concubines to drink wine out of and he praised 
the gods of silver and gold and brass and iron and wood, and stone which 
see not, nor hear nor know not, and the God in whose hand his breath was, 
he glorified not. This is idolatry. It is the religion of the senses. The 
gold and silver here are used to adorn the person of the senses; they are 
worshipped through the senses. The senses have no life, neither have 
the gold and silver. They are matter. The true God of Spirit is the only 
God and the God of all life. The real idolatry is not in the gold and silver 
but in the senses. It is in the sex and sensual mind. The gold and silver 
are only used as symbols of lust and the senses and the sensual mind. 
The real idolatry is within the worship of the senses. True idolatry is the 
vanity of the flesh, and the vain and lust imagination in the sensual mind. 

—90— 



And the gold and silver and other metals, and fine dress, are only used to 
express the vain and carnal imaginations of the sex mind. Idolatry is the 
sensual or sex mind worshipping matter, that can see not, nor hear not. 
The sex act is the most intense form of idolatry, it is the most intense state 
of mind, wherein the senses — that is matter — is worshipped and adored 
as good, which is a lie and death. 

Idols can "neither see, nor hear, nor talk," — that is there is no life, 
nor intelligence, in matter. 

Man did not "see, nor hear," through the material senses, until after 
the fall. Man understood and saw through mind and the spiritual senses, 
previous to the fall. After the fall, he was turned into the earth — that is 
into the consciousness of matter, and the material senses, and he saw with 
mind, through matter, and the material senses of matter, and the material 
senses, thetjf became his gods, and the sex act his Babylon. 

The senses then became his idol, orchis gods, and they "see not, neither 
do they hear." 

These idols are within the senses of the brain and generative organs. 
The material idols, constructed into shape and form only, represent the 
sensual ideas within the mind of the senses. The true idols are devils, and 
are the lust thoughts and ideas of the sex mind. 

St. John in Revelation, describes the devil as the "great dragon" that was 
cast out of that old serpent, called the devil and Satan, which "deceiveth 
the whole world." 

The serpent (the great dragon), here, St. John says, is called the devil 
and Satan. This is the same serpent that deceived Eve. It is the lust of 
the flesh and the sex act. The lust of the flesh is located in the senses of 
the brain and the generative organs. The desires of the lust senses of the 
brain are idols. When the lust of the flesh is overcome there will be no 
more idolatry, nor idols. 

"Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their, sorceries, nor of 
their fornications, nor of their thefts." Rev. 9:21, 

All of these are within the senses, and are of the lust of the flesh. 

Sorceries are of the senses. They are located within the animal magnet- 
ism of the senses. They are of the sex organs and the senses of the brain, 
and so is fornication. 

Theft is of the sensual mind. 

Selfishness and dishonesty is within the sex. There is not an honest 
thought in the Sensual or Sex mind. Our Lord referred to it, "as the devil." 
is a lie and "the father of it." 

Eve acknowledged the truth, when she said "that the serpent deceived 
her." That is, the senses had lied to her. 

Every man and woman, who indulge in the sex act know that the 

—91— 



senses are liars. This lie of the senses causes men and women to commit 
adultery, fornication, and to steal, and to murder. 

The more depraved the fallen woman becomes, the more dishonest she 
becomes in her thought, and the greater thief and liar she becomes. The 
same is true of the man. The immoral man, who has neither honor, nor 
character, when he becomes infatuated sexually, with the immoral woman, 
will steal and murder for her, and the same is true of the woman. 

When the woman becomes infatuated with the man, sexually, she will 
lie, steal, and murder, for him, and then kill him through jealousy. 

Murder, sorcery, fornication, and theft are within the sex. 

"Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have a 
right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates, into the Holy 
City. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and 
murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie." Rev. 
22:14-15. 

Those who keep his commandments, live above the lust of the flesh, in 
mind and thought. They are pure in heart, and Our Lord said, "Blessed are 
the pure in heart, for they shall see God." They shall have a right to the 
"tree of life and they shall enter in through the gates into the Holy City." 

The "gates of the Holy City" are the spiritual sense of being, and this 
is purity. If the pure in heart shall see God, the converse is true, viz., that 
the impure in heart shall not see God. 

We become pure in heart, as we arise in mind and thought, above the 
lust of the flesh, and the material sense of being, to the spiritual sense of 
being, and see with the mind's eye God as spirit. 

The impure in heart have no consciousness and understanding, of God, 
as a spiritual being. They are in the state of consciousness of the senses. 
They only know through matter, and the material senses. They are with- 
out the Holy City, in thought, for their thoughts are carnal, and so are 
their deeds. They do not know God as Truth, but their every thought is 
a lie, and dishonesty of purpose. 

St. John tells us that without the Holy City are "dogs." 

The dog is the lowest type of a sensual animal. Women, who become 
so degraded, as to use the dog for sex purposes, show it upon their faces. 
They even go from the use of the dog sexually, to the unnatural use of the 
dog in mouth, and I am told by physicians that the degraded women be- 
come maniacs, as a rule before death. The wages of sin is death. The 
degraded state of their minds is written upon their faces. We are told by 
those who have witnessed the death bed scene of women of the under- 
world, who used dogs for sex purposes, that the passing of these poor, un- 
fortunate beings, is a horrible sight to witness. All seems to be night and 
darkness to them, as they go out of this life, into the Great Beyond. It is 

—92— 



said, that as they pass from the material senses, into the consciousness of 
the spiritual realm, that they cry out "All is dark," and, that "they are 
going to Hell." Their agonies are said to be awful to behold. Women 
die in palaces of courts and kings, and mansions of the rich, who have 
graced courts and social life, but have been dog lovers. These depraved 
women go out in the same mental state, as the women of the underworld, 
who have been dog lovers. It is all night to them, as they pass into the 
Great Beyond. 

This state of darkness is within their minds, and is the same state of 
thought that made them dog lovers, and that made them use dogs for sex 
purposes, and it keeps them out of the Holy City. "For nothing that 
defileth can enter there." 

Woman, wherever you are, or whom you are, that reads these lines, 
if you have degraded your mind and polluted your body to the unholy 
state of using the dog for sex purposes, repent now, and change your un- 
holy life, and your state of mind to a more holy state of thought and seek 
the pardon of the Holy God. 

The Christ was pure. Behold his purity in your own mind and thought, 
and repent with tears, and he will guide you, into a holy state of mind, and 
regenerate your depraved thoughts. He will lift you from earth, and 
your fallen and depraved state of mind, to a holy state of mind, and a pure 
state of thought, wherein you may know him, as your Saviour Divine. 

St. John tells us that "sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and 
idolaters, whosoever loveth and maketh a lie are without the Holy City." 

We note here, that sorcerers, and all the above named, are in the same 
condition, viz., they are without the Holy City. 

Sorcery is within the sex-mind or sensual mind. It is in the senses. 
And so is whoremongery. Hatred and murder are within the human will 
power of the sex mind. 

Idolatry is within the sex mind of the senses. It is within the sex. 
Everything within the sex mind is a lie. Hence, whosoever loveth and 
maketh a lie, cannot enter the Holy City. To love a lie, is to love the 
senses and it is to love the flesh. We cannot love the flesh and love God, 
at one and the same time. "You cannot serve God and Baal." 

The mind must become so pure in thought, that it has no desire for the 
sex act, before the mind can serve God, who is Spirit. The mind must 
overcome everything which is sensual, before the mind can see God, through 
spiritual sense and know God, and thus enter the Holy City. 

God will "destroy them which destroy the earth." 

The word translated "destroy" here, in the original, means corrupt, and 
"earth" means flesh. 

To give this passage its true spiritual meaning, it should read, "God 
will destroy them that corrupt the flesh." 

—93— 



The flesh is corrupted by the lust of the flesh. The mind of lust cor- 
rupts the flesh. This was the origin of disease, insanity, and death. We 
see around us daily, those, who have corrupted the flesh through lust, 
dragging their feet, with their arms dangling down beside their bodies, 
their ears with running sores, their eyesight destroyed, the organs of their 
bodies rotting away, and holes eaten in the temples of their bodies, and in 
aches and pains, and insane, as the results of having corrupted the flesh. 
The serpent has destroyed them. 

"And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless 
pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue, is Abaddon, but in the Greek 
tongue hath his name Apollyon" — that is, a "Destroyer." 

Abaddon and Apollyon, in the original, means a "destroyer." It is 
the serpent that has destroyed all the race, since lust deceived Eve. It 
has mowed the nations down with syphilis. Syphilis has destroyed more 
people than wars. Lust has almost depopulated the earth, in various ages 
of the world, through its plagues. It has invented all the means of war, 
and destruction. It has produced the carnal art and literature of the race, 
and the vain imaginations of the race. It has filled the insane asylums 
and hospitals of the world. 

Men and women, who become so degraded as to use the lower animals 
for sex purposes, if they continue in this practice, either die, or go insane. 

Men and women, who practice self-abuse, if they continue this un- 
natural state of lust, either die or go insane, as a rule, or succumb to epileptic 
fits. Likewise over sexual indulgence produces epilepsy. 

Husbands and wives, who over-indulge, sexually, become pale and 
weak, and frequently die of softening of the brain. 

Over sex indulgence weakens the nerve forces of the brain, and thereby, 
weakens the nerve force of the organs of the body, and produces heart 
trouble, dropsy, kidney trouble, bright's disease, and suffering, in every con- 
ceivable form. 

The young, who begin masturbation early in life, frequenty die before 
maturity, and if they live to reach maturity, are weak minded and are 
weak in body. 

Early self-abuse destroys their sex organs, and their brains, and both 
dry up, as it were, and their minds become weak. 

The young, who begin sex indulgence early in life, do not develop 
mentally and physically, as they should. When they should be in the 
maturity and vigor of their sex, mental, and physical forces, as a rule, their 
sex forces, mental and physical forces, have given away, and they are of 
no use to themselves, or any one else. Early sex indulgence destroys the 
mind and body. 

Kg The king of lust, that is over all the race, and whose name is Apollyon, 
is thedestroyer of the race. He plays no favorites. 

—94— 



"And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, 
saying, the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of Our Lord, 
and of his Christ; and he shall reign forever and ever." Rev. 11:15. 

The "seventh angel" is here used as a heavenly number. It is the 
symbol of the spiritual sense of soul overcoming the carnal sense of matter. 
It is purity overcoming lust. 

"The great voices in heaven" is the consciousness of the spiritual sense 
of being; and the spiritual sense of being is tlie kingdoms of this world, 
which is the lust of the flesh, becoming the kingdoms of Our Lord, and his 
Christ. 

As the race overcomes Apollyon, which is lust and the destroyer of the 
race, the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of Our Lord and his 
Christ. 

As the race overcomes lust, it overcomes all, that destroys it, and comes 
into the consciousness of life. 

When lust shall have been overcome, the kingdoms of this world shall 
have been overcome, and there will be no more wars, plagues, sickness, 
disease and death; 

"And the Christ shall reign forever and ever." And the Christ 
within our minds will be the understanding of the spiritual sense of being, 
which is the mind purified from the lust of the flesh.

CHAPTER VII. 

"If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, 
where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God." Col. 3:1. 

We note here that St. Paul makes the ressurrection spiritual, and not 
material. The people, to whom he was addressing this letter, were still 
in their material bodies. Yet he says to them, "If ye then be risen with 
Christ, seek those things which are above." 

Jesus became the Christ at thirty years of age. It was then that he, 
in his physical capacity, was in the full forces of his sex powers as a man, 
and overcame the lust of the flesh, and was anointed with the Holy Spirit — 
that is, became the Christ, which means, the life of God, or the life of good. 

He had overcome the lust of the flesh, which is death, and had become 
the Christ — that is, the life of God, or the life of good. 

This state of mind enabled him to come out of the physical grave, 
which was the overcoming of death. 

Lust is the father of death, and he had overcome lust, and therefore 
had overcome death. 

"The things, which are above," which St. Paul tells the Christians to 
seek, are the things which are beyond matter and the senses of the flesh. 
They are the things of spiritual sense. They are divine. 

The things, which are below, are of the senses of the flesh. They are 
of the earth, and earthy. They are death. 

St. Paul says that "Christ sitteth on the right hand of God." 

"God" is a contraction for the word good. Good is of spiritual sense. 
It is soul purity. Evil is of material sense. It is of the lust of the flesh. 

The Divine and Infinite mind is good, and is life. 

The Christ is the life, and he sits on the right hand of the Father — that 
is, within the same state of consciousness and mind of the Father. The 
Divine mind is holy and pure. 

Our Lord was our Divine Lord, because he came here in the flesh, and 
overcame all the lust of the flesh, and the death of the flesh. 

St. Paul says, "Set your affections on things above, not on things of the 
earth." Col. 3:2. 

The term here translated "affection," in the original Greek, reads mind, 
and the word "earth" means matter or flesh. 

To give this passage its correct spiritual meaning, it should read, "Set 
your mind on things above, not on things of the flesh." 

—96— 



The things above are of spiritual sense. They are not of matter and 
the senses. As we turn our minds and thoughts from the senses of the 
flesh to purity and spiritual ideas, we set our minds on things above. 

As we turn our minds from purity and spiritual ideas, we go to the lust 
of the flesh and death. 

St. Paul says, "For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God." 
Col. 3:3. 

S. Paul was writing to a Christian church. Its members were presumed 
to be dead to the lust of the flesh. 

As the serpent dies within us, and the last lust thought and desire goes 
out of our minds and thought, we are dead unto the flesh, and our lives 
are hid with Christ in God. We have reached the spiritual sense of being, 
and know no evil, and no death. 

For in the Christ mind, there is no lust of the flesh, and no death. The 
Christ mind has overcome every desire of the lust of the flesh, and is life. 

St. Paul says, "When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye 
also appear with him in glory." Col. 3:4. 

The Christ shall appear in our minds and consciousness, as the lust of 
the flesh and desires of the flesh, go out of our thoughts and minds. When 
the last thought and desire of the flesh shall go out of our minds, we shall 
then appear with him in glory. We shall then be holy in thought, as he is 
holy. He, then, who is our life, shall appear, within our consciousness 
and minds, as the tree of life unto our hungry souls. "And we shall see 
him as he is." 

St. Paul says, "Mortify therefore, your members, which are upon the 
earth; fornication, uncleanliness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, 
and covetousness, which is idolatry; for which things sake the wrath of 
God cometh on the children of disobedience: in which ye also walked 
sometime, when ye lived in them." Col. 3:5 to 7. 

"Mortify" means "to destroy the active powers or essential qualities" 
of the material man. The essential qualities are the senses and are located 
within the generative organs and the senses of the lobes of the brain. The 
desires of the senses must be destroyed by overcoming the mind of the 
senses. 

St. Paul brings out this idea in Romans, eighth chapter, twelfth to four- 
teenth verses. 

"Therefore, brethren we are debtors not to the flesh, to live after the 
flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die; but if ye through the 
spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. For as many as are 
led by the spirit of God, they are the sons of God." 

To be a debtor to the flesh is to live for the flesh. It is to live for the 
sex act, and the gratification of the senses that go with it. To live for the 

—97— 



flesh is death. Adam and Eve lived for the flesh when they indulged in 
the sex act, and they died. 

Every thought and desire of the flesh leads to destruction and death. 
Some travel the road to destruction and death through the flesh by self 
abuse, and others by over sex indulgence. Others, through whiskey, mor- 
phine and cocaine, and others through hatred and jealousy. 

But they all ride "the pale horse of Death," of Revelation, to self de- 
struction. 

"The pale horse of Death," of Revelation, had his origin in the sex 
thought and is of the sex mind, and his road, which he travels, leads to 
death, and all who ride him, go to self destruction. 

"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, 
that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh, shall of the flesh 
reap corruption; but he that soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reap 
life everlasting. Gal. 6:7-8. 

God has put a penalty upon lust and sin, and that penalty is death. 
Every time the sex act is indulged, life is given up, and death is reaped, as 
the reward. 

"He that soweth to his flesh, shall of the flesh reap corruption." We 
see the truth of this passage of scripture around us daily. The mind of the 
lust of the flesh, corrupts the flesh. The mind of the lust of the flesh pro- 
duces the syphilitic germs. Syphilis is a child of lust. Men and women 
are everywhere with noses eaten off, ears eaten off, throats eaten out, holes 
eaten within their bodies, and the cells of their brains eaten away, by the 
syphilitic germ. 

They have sown to the flesh and reap the corruption of flesh. 

"And dust shall be the serpent's meat." 

"Dust" here means the flesh. It is the dust of the earth, which Adam 
was taken from, and told that he should return to — that is matter or the 
flesh. 

The serpent is the mind of lust. It is the mind that loves the flesh and 
the sex act. "And the flesh shall be its meat." And it shall corrupt it, 
disease it, and destroy it. 

The woman was told that there should be enmity put between her seed 
and the serpent's seed. The conflict is ever going on between the love of 
the flesh and the love of the spirit. 

Every ambition of the flesh revolves around the thought of the sex act. 
And this state of the mind, diseases the flesh. 

Go into any museum and study the nature of the various diseases, and 
you will see the truth of the law — that the dust shall be the serpent's meat. 
There you will see women with their breasts eaten off, and there you see 
men with their generative organs eaten away with cancer and syphilis. 

—98— 



Go to any insane asylum and there you will see men and women raving 
maniacs, with syphilitic brains, and masturbators dying with softening of 
the brain. 

Go to any home for the feeble minded, and there you will see the idiots 
and the weak minded, as the result of syphilis and masturbation, which 
were the sins of their parents and grandparents. They have inherited the 
sins of their ancestors. 

Go to the homes for deformed and feeble minded children and there you 
will see the born idiot, and the weak minded child, and the deformed child, 
with the frail and weak body, as a result of the syphilitic condition of 
parents and grandparents. 

Verily, verily, the "dust shall be the serpent's meat. And he that 
soweth to the flesh, shall of the flesh reap corruption." This is the penalty 
for sin. For the lust of the flesh is death. 

"But he that soweth of the spirit, shall of the spirit reap life ever- 
lasting." 

Sowing to the spirit, is turning from the desires of the flesh, and the 
thoughts of the flesh, to spiritual ideas and spiritual thoughts. It is turn- 
ing from the thought and desire of the sex act to the desire for spiritual 
ideas, and spiritual thoughts. It is going from every thought of the flesh 
to the consciousness of the spiritual sense of being. 

Our Divine Lord, when he was here in the flesh, was within the con- 
sciousness of this spiritual sense of being, and by the purity and holiness 
of his own mind and thought, turned the thoughts and desires of others, 
diseased with the lust of the flesh, from every thought of carnality, to the 
thought and desire for the spiritual sense of being, and heal them. 

"But if ye through the spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall 
live." 

The deeds of the body are of the lust of the flesh, and they are disease 
and death. But if we mortify the deeds of the body — that is, the sex mind 
the desires and the lust of the flesh — by overcoming them, and becom- 
ing pure and spiritual in our desires and thoughts, we shall live. 

"For as many as are lead by the spirit of God, they are the sons of God." 

As we go from the desires of the lust of the flesh to spiritual thoughts 
and desires, we are lead by the spirit and become the sons of God — that is, 
the creation of good. 

"God" is the contraction for good, and good is of spiritual sense, and 
there is no consciousness of matter and the love of matter, in the con- 
sciousness of the spiritual sense of being. When we shall have come into 
complete consciousness of the spiritual sense of being, we shall have over- 
come every thought and desire for the sex act, and of the flesh. We are 
then, indeed, "the sons of God," and are healed from sin and death. 

—99— 



St. Paul tells us that there is a means of reaching this spiritual sense 
of consciousness and a way to become the "sons of God." 

He says, "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth." 
The term "members" here means the senses of the brain and the generative 
organs, which are the seat of the lust of the flesh. 

St. Paul says in Romans 6:12,13, "Let not sin therefore reign in your 
mortal body that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye 
your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin; but yield your- 
selves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as 
instruments of righteousness unto God." 

St. Paul here defines "members." They are the lusts of the flesh, and 
the lusts of the flesh are in the senses of the generative organs and the lust 
senses of the brain. These are not to be yielded to unrighteousness — 
that is, we are not to yield to the lust desire for the sex act, and all the un- 
righteousness and evil of the flesh that flow therefrom. But we are to 
subject the lust of the flesh, and overcome the sex act, and all the evils of 
the lust of the flesh that flow therefrom. 

When we do this, sin does not reign in our mortal bodies, and we do not 
obey the lust of the flesh. We have overcome the lusts of the flesh and 
the desire for the sex act, in mind and thought, and are righteous. We 
have "mortified our members which are upon the earth." The term 
"earth" here means matter, that is flesh, and "mortify" means to destroy 
the sensual. We have destroyed the sensual, which is of the flesh, and we 
do none of those things that St. Paul says follow as the lust of the flesh, 
viz., fornication, uncleanliness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence. 

"Inordinate affection," is unnatural sex desires and unnatural sex in- 
dulgence. It is men and women indulging unnaturally with each other 
and the lower animals, sexually. This unnatural lust was a common 
practice with the rich and social world, of Rome, and the other leading 
cities of the east, in St. Paul's day, as it was common in Sodom and Gom- 
orrah, as it is with the idle rich today. 

"Concupiscence" means morbid carnal passion, sexual lust. Morbid 
lust is unnatural lust. It is the desire to gratify sexual lust in an unnatural 
way, and it is the gratification in an unnatural way. 

The Egyptians were doing this, when the Children of Israel were led 
out of Egypt. The Egyptian men and women were indulging unnaturally 
with each other and the lower animals, and so were the Canaanites, whom 
the Children of Israel were told to drive out of the land. They were dog 
lovers, just as were the idle rich women of Rome, in St. Paul's days, and as 
many of the idle rich women of our time. 

Right here in Kansas City, where I live, recently two women had a 
fight over a common cur dog, and it was published in the news items of the 

—100— 



daily papers, here. The newspapers that published the story, said "that 
while it was only a common cur dog, over which these women fought (I 
will not call them ladies) that "the dog had some good traits." Every 
depraved dog loving woman, in the underworld, knew what "the good 
traits of the dog" were. These women became sexually jealous over this 
dog, just as women do over a man, and fought over him. 

Another society woman here, since I have been writing this book, 
issued engraved cards to her friends, to attend a dog wedding to take place 
at her summer home. We understand that the occasion was quite a social 
function, and the idle rich women had an enjoyable time at this depraved 
occupation and dog wedding. Of course their thoughts were dog's thoughts. 

Let us hope that the standard of morals will be so elevated, in the 
future, that no hotel or public inn will allow a woman with a male dog 
to be a guest at the hotel, and permit the dog to occupy the room with her. 

If they must have watch dogs, let them have female dogs. No lady, 
with any rectitude of moral thinking, will want a male dog to occupy the 
same bed with her, or the same room that she occupies. 

St. Paul here defines idolatry as fornication, uncleanliness, inordinate 
affection, evil concupiscience, covetousness. He says in Col. 3:5, that 
these constitute idolatry. They are within the sensual mind, and they 
have their origin within the sex act. 

St. Paul says here that they begin with fornication and end with covet- 
ousness. Without lust for the sex act there would be no greed. The 
desire for the sex act is within the sensual mind, and so is greed. They 
are both of the senses and are idolatry. 

Remove lust from the mind, and there would be no more idolatry. 

St. Paul says, in Ephesians 5:5, "For this ye know, that no whore- 
monger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath 
any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God." 

Every whoremonger is an idolater. He lives for the sex act and the 
things of the flesh. Every unclean person is an idolater. All that is 
unclean, in mind and thought, is in the desire of the flesh and the sex act. 
Every coveteous man is an idolater. His greed is within the senses, and 
of the senses. His love of the flesh makes him desire that which justly 
belongs to others. Every dog lover is an idolater. She worships, in 
mind and act, the lust of the lower brute. Every man, that indulges sex- 
ually with the lower animals, is an idolater. His depraved mind makes 
him lust sexually, for the flesh of the lower animals, and the beast creation. 
Every masturbator is an idolaterer. He abuses nature, and in an un- 
natural way gratifies his lust. 

These lustful conditions of thought are within the cells of the brain, 
and they constitute the worship and adoration of the senses — that is, the 
worship of matter, which "can hear not, nor see not." 

—101— 



St. Paul says, that no "idolater hath any inheritance in the kingdom 
of Christ and God." 

The kingdom of Christ is the kingdom of the spiritual sense of being, 
and the kingdom of God is the kingdom of good, which is the spiritual 
sense of being. 

All that is of the flesh and matter, must be overcome in mind and 
thought before we can inherit this kingdom of the spiritual sense of being. 

Every lust thought of the flesh must be overcome before we can inherit 
this state of purity, and the spiritual sense of being. 

St. Paul, after enumerating these evils of the lust of the flesh, which 
are death, says in Col. 3:8, 10, "But now ye also put off all these; anger, 
wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication, out of your mouth. Lie 
not, one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds ; 
and have put on the new man which is renewed in knowledge after the 
image of him, that created him." 

The old man, with his deeds, is the carnal man, with his lust desires. 
The thoughts of the old man of the flesh, are within the sex, and his deeds 
emanate from his sex mind. We see this in the history of all art and liter- 
ature. We see it in the history of human governments, and of the human 
race. The museums, palaces, and courts of the ancient world, were filled 
with the monstrosities of nature — half beast and half human. These 
monstrosities were produced as the result of the depraved state of thought 
and mind of the race. These monstrosities, which were the result of sex 
depravity, are named in the Mosaic law, in the Prophecies, and in Revela- 
tion. They are in the art and literature of the race. 

Depraved women, who have dishonored their bodies and cohabited 
with dogs, have been known to give birth to monstrosities in all ages. These 
monstrosities would be half human and half dog. As a rule, they die. 
Nature does not permit them, as a rule, to live. Monstrosities have been 
in the depraved thought of the race, and they are in the art of the race. 

A woman, who was indicted, and convicted for cohabiting with dogs 
was sent to a state prison of one of the states of the United States of America. 
She thereafter gave birth to five monstrosities. They were not pups, and 
they were not children. They had heads somewhat like human beings, 
and feet somewhat like the hands of a human being, with claws upon them. 
They died. I, personally was not a witness to these facts, but a reputable 
man, who personally conversed with those who were witnesses to the fact, 
told me the facts here related, and the facts were common property and 
common knowledge in the prison, at the time the woman gave birth to 
these monstrosities. This poor, depraved woman had burned her soul 
in the lust of the most degraded state of depravity. Depraved women 
have thus degraded their souls in all ages since the serpent deceived Eve. 

—102— 



This depraved state of mind was the condition of the idle rich, and the 
court circle of Rome, Babylon, and all the East, and the Orient^ and the 
Old World, when Christianity came into existence, and when the Christian 
church was founded, and when St. Paul wrote his epistles to the churches. 

Hence, in writing his Epistles to the newly converted Christians and to 
the infant churches, he deals with lust in all its depraved states, and con- 
ditions. He tells these newly born Christians, who have forsaken the lust 
of the flesh and have accepted the Christ, to put "on the new man, which 
is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him. ,, 

As we leave off the lust of the flesh, and overcome the sex desire, we gain 
righteousness — that is, our thoughts and ideas become of spiritual sense. 
The God that created us is Spirit,, and as we overcome the lust of the flesh, 
in desire and thought, we come into the consciousness of his image. Our 
thoughts become spiritual, and our ideas become spiritual, and we lose the 
consciousness of matter, and overcome the love for the flesh, and matter. 

This is the "crown of righteousness" that St. Paul said was laid up for 
him. 

St. Paul, in addressing his letter to the church at Rome, discusses the 
law of spirit and the law of matter, and the law of truth and the law of 
error, the law of light and the law of darkness, and the law of life and the 
law of death, as he does in all of the letters, which he wrote to the churches. 

In speaking of those, who had known God, as Spirit, and had turned 
from the love of God as Spirit and Truth, to the love of the lust of the flesh 
and matter as death, he says, in Romans 1:18, "For the wrath of God is 
revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, 
who hold the truth in unrighteousness/ ' 

Continuing he says, in the 21st to the 25th verses, in this same chapter, 
"Because, that when they knew God, they glorified him not, as God, 
neither were they thankful; but became vain in their imaginations and 
their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they 
became fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an 
image made like to the corruptible man, and to birds, and to four-footed 
beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore God also gave them up to un- 
cleanliness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own 
bodies between themselves; who changed the truth of God into a lie; and 
worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed 
forever, Amen." 

We observe here that those who ceased from the glory of God, as Spirit, 
became vain in their imaginations, and "their foolish heart was darkened." 
Vain imaginations are within the cells of the brain. They are senses of 
the brain. They are lust desires, and lust thoughts, and those who live 
in this state of mind, have their hearts darkened, and as St. Paul says, 

—103— 



"become fools." Darkness is a state of mind. It is a lustful state' of 
mind. In their own carnal imaginations, and lust desires, they change 
their conception of the uncorruptible God, who is Truth and Spirit, into 
the ideas and images, made like corruptible man, and the beast. Their 
ideas are lust imaginations, and their desires are for the lust of corruptible 
men, and beast. 

These lustful and degenerate ideas are within their minds, hence, they 
make images of the ideas in their minds and thoughts, to represent their 
ideas and thoughts. 

When St. Paul wrote this epistle, men were lusting for men and cohabit- 
ing with men, and women were lusting for women, and men and women 
were lusting for and cohabiting with the beast creation. This was a com- 
mon practice in the degenerate age in which St. Paul lived, as it is in this 
lustful and carnal age, in which I write, and it has been ever since the serpent 
deceived Eve. 

Therefore, God gave the carnal and lustful people of the degenerate 
age, in which St. Paul wrote, up to uncleanliness, through the lusts of their 
own hearts, "to dishonor their own bodies between themselves." 

These degenerate thoughts were within their hearts — that is, within 
their minds. In mind and thought, they lusted for the flesh of each other's 
bodies, and to dishonor each other's bodies. 

Therefore, God turned them over, in desire and thought, to gratify 
their unnatural lust desires, and to dishonor each other's bodies. 

St. Paul, in First Corinthians, 6:18, brings out this idea. He says, 
"Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but 
he that committeth fornication, sinneth again his own body." Continuing, 
he says, "What! Know ye not that your body is the Temple of the Holy 
Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own." 

In First Thessalonians, 4:3 to 5, St. Paul brings out the same idea. He 
says, "For this is the will of God, even your sanctification that ye should 
abstain from fornication. That everyone of you should know how to 
posess his vessel in sanctification and honor; not in the lust of concupis- 
cience, even as the Gentiles who know not God." 

The word "Gentile," in the original, means earth — that is, matter. 
That is to say, pagan and heathen. That is the love of the lust of the flesh. 

The Gentile is one who lives for the gratification of the senses. The 
sex act is the religion of the Gentiles, and the love of the lust senses of the 
brain, are their gods. The pagan, or Gentile world — that is, those who lived 
for the lust of the flesh, in St. Paul's day, were indulging in all manner and 
forms of unnatural lust, as they are now — that is, men with men, women 
with women, and men and women with the lower beasts, and lust in all 
natural and unnatural ways.

St. Paul tells the Christians of the Thessalonian church, that they must 
do none of these things, but that they must "possess their vessels in sancti- 
fication and honor." To possess their vessels in sanctification and honor, 
is to keep the mind so pure and non-lustful in thought, that the sex organs 
will retain the sex seed. The vessels are the sex organs, and the mind must 
be kept so pure that they will retain the sex seed. 

This was St. Paul's command to this Christian church. 

St. Peter brings out the same spiritual idea in his epistles as does St. Paul. 
The whole burden of St. Peter's epistles is that the sex act, and the lusts of 
the flesh are death, and the overcoming of them is purity and life eternal. 

In the first five verses of the fourth chapter of the first epistle of Peter 
the idea is clearly brought out, as it is, all through his writings. 

He says, "For as much then as Christ has suffered for us in the flesh, 
arm yourselves likewise with the same mind; for he that hath suffered in 
the flesh, has ceased from sin; that he no longer should live the rest of his 
time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. For the time 
past our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when 
we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banqueting, 
and abominable idolatries; wherein they think it strange that ye run not 
with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you, who shall give 
account to him, that is ready to judge the quick and the dead." I Peter 
4:1-5. 

St. Peter here tells the Christians of the early churches to arm them- 
selves likewise with the same mind as the Christ. For he says the Christ 
"has suffered in the flesh," and the Christ had overcome the flesh. 

When we arm ourselves with the same mind of the Christ, we overcome, 
in mind and thought, the desire for the sex act, and all the other lusts of 
the flesh, that flow therefrom. 

St. Peter says that he "that hath suffered in the flesh, hath ceased from 
sin." When we have suffered in the flesh, and have overcome the flesh, we 
have overcome the mind and thought of the flesh, and to not desire, in 
mind and thought, to gratify the flesh through the sex act; and we have 
"ceased from sin." We retain the sex seed through the purity of the mind. 

St. Peter says that "he no longer should live the rest of his time, in the 
flesh, to the lusts of men, but to the will of God." 

He that has overcome, in mind and thought, the lusts of the flesh, and 
does not gratify the flesh, through the sex act, does not live within the 
flesh and does not the will of the flesh; but does the will of God. The will 
of God is of spiritual sense, and we cannot do his will until we overcome the 
mind of the flesh. 

God's mind is of spiritual sense, and we do not obtain his mind um 
we overcome the mind of the lust of the flesh and the desire to gratify the 
lust of the flesh through the sex act. 

—107— 



When we overcome the mind of lust, we have the mind of God, and can 
do his will. 

St. Peter, writing to these early Christians, says "For the time past of 
our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we 
walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banqueting and 
abominable idolatries.' , 

Here St. Peter defines the will of the Gentiles. The will of the Gentiles 
is within the senses. It is the lusts of the senses of the brain and the gener- 
ative organs. . 

The Gentile lives for the lusts of the flesh and the sex act. The lust 
senses constitute his religion. The will of the flesh and the sex act is his 
mind. 

St. Peter says the Gentiles walk in lasciviousness. Lasciviousness is 
the lusts of the flesh and the sex act. He says the Gentiles walk in lusts. 
Lusts is the sex act and the gratification of the flesh that goes with it. Lust 
means the desire and pleasure of the senses, and the essence of the desire 
and pleasure of the senses is to spill the sex seed through the sex act. All 
other lusts of the flesh come out of this thought, and desire. 

St. Peter refers to the lusts of the sex act, and the other lusts of the flesh, 
as excessive wines, revelling, banqueting, and abominable idolatries. 
Wine, revelling in rich foods, and banqueting, stimulate the senses and 
increases the desire to gratify the sex act. 

"Abominable idolatries' ' are the lusts of the flesh in all their degrading 
states. They are the desires of the sensual mind, and the gratification of 
the lusts of the flesh through all the natural and unnatural sex acts. Abom- 
inable idolatry is the spilling of the sex seed, in the natural and the un- 
natural ways. 

St. Peter says the Gentiles walked in the ways of these things — that is, 
they had the mind and the desire for all these things, and gratified these 
desires of the flesh. These desires were within the senses of the brain and 
generative organs. The nerve cells of the brain and generative organs are 
connected. Every nerve in the body runs to the brain and generative 
organs. And the Gentiles are those who live in the thought and conscious- 
ness of these senses. 

St. Peter says to the Christians, to whom he wrote, "For the time past 
of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles." 

These Christians, who had now forsaken the lusts of the flesh, and the 
gratification of the flesh, through the sex act, were not Gentiles. They 
had overcome the mind of lust and the desire in mind and thought to spill 
the sex seed through the sex act, and having overcome the desire for the 
sex act, they had also overcome all the other evils of the sensual mind, 
which come out of the desire to gratify the sex act, viz., lasciviousness, lusts, 
excessive wines, revellings, banqeting and abominable idolatries. 

—108— 



They had overcome every desire of the senses and the lusts of the flesh; 
and they had the mind of God, and did the will of God. 

St. Peter says in the nineteenth verse of the fourth chapter of this his 
first Epistle, "Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God, 
commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful 
Creator.' ' 

All, who overcome the lust of the flesh, have the mind of God, and are 
willing to suffer the persecutions of the will of the flesh for the will of God. 

Those, who are living for the lusts of the flesh and the sex act, hate God; 
and will persecute those who have the mind of God. 

But those who have overcome the flesh, and have the mind of the 
Father, and do the will of God, commit their souls to his keeping when they 
are persecuted by those who love the lusts of the flesh. 

St. Paul defines "abominable idolatries. ,, "Abominable idolatries" are 
defined all through the Bible. 

St. Paul refers to those who are in this state of mind as those who 
"change the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to 
corruptible man, and to birds, and to four-footed beasts, and to creeping 
things." 

These things to which St. Paul refers represented the ideas and thoughts 
of a lustful and degraded people. They represented the lust thoughts, and 
unnatural sex desires within the minds of a carnal and degraded people. 

The idea is brought out in the fourth chapter and sixteenth verse of 
Dueteronomy. Moses here was speaking to the Children of Israel and 
telling them that they should keep the statutes of God which are of spirit- 
ual sense, and not of carnal sense. 

"Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the simili- 
tude of any figure, the likeness of male or female." 

We note that "the likeness" here forbidden was male or female. It 
takes a male and a female to constitute the sex thought. The idea is 
within the sensual mind. It is within the lust senses of the brain, and the 
image, forbidden to be made, was only symbolic of these lust desires within 
the brain. 

Jeremiah brings out the same idea in the eleventh chapter, second verse. 
"Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? But my people 
have changed their glory for that which doth not profit." 

The gods here, are the gods of the senses. They are the belief of good 
within the senses, and they do not profit. There is no good within them, 
yet the Children of Israel had changed from the glory of the true God, to 
the worship of the senses and the lust of the flesh; and men and women are 
doing this today by indulging sexually for the pleasure of the senses. 

This is idolatry. 

—109— 



This same idea is brought out in the eighth chapter, ninth and tenth 
verses of Ezekiel. Here the "Son on Man" was communicated to by the 
Father. This communication was of spiritual sense. The Son of Man 
was the Christ. 

"And he said unto me, Go in, and behold the wicked abominations that 
they do here. So I went in and saw; and behold every form of creeping 
things and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, 
portrayed upon the wall roundabout." 

These material objects represented the ideas and thoughts within the 
minds of the Children of Israel, who had ceased to worship the true God of 
Spirit, and had gone after the lust of the flesh, and the worshipping of the 
senses through the sex act. 

The "abominable beasts" were symbolic of the thoughts in their minds 
of indulging sexually with the beast creation. 

This is the most degraded state of idolatry. 

"Abominable idolatry" is denned in Leviticus, 18:22 to 29. 

"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind; it is abomin- 
ation. Neither shalt thou lie with any beast, to defile thyself therewith; 
neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto; it is con- 
fusion. Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things; for in all these 
the nations are defiled which I cast out before you. And the land is defiled; 
therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth 
out her inhabitants. Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judg- 
ments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of 
your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you (for all these 
abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and 
the land is defiled) that the land spue not you out also, when ye defileth 
it as it speued out the nations that were before you. For whosoever shall 
commit any of these abominations, even the souls that commit them shall 
be cut off from among their people." 

When Moses wrote this, as commanded by the Lord, the Canaanites 
were cohabiting with the lower beasts. Men were cohabiting with men, 
and. women with women. This state of thought had degraded them until 
they were diseased with all the forms of leprosy, syphilis, and gonorrhea. 
They, as a people, were a diseased and degenerate race. Blindness and 
deafness were among them, everywhere, and insanity was prevalent. 

This state of thought was in the cells of the brain, and is the most 
debase state of idolatry. So debased were their thoughts that the land — 
that is, the flesh — -was defiled, and God said, "I do visit the iniquity thereof 
upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants." 

The land here is the flesh of the material bodies of the people, and not 
the earth upon which they stood. And God visited the iniquity of the lust 

—110— 



of the flesh upon the flesh, and their flesh became diseased, and rotted 
upon their bones, with leprosy, syphilis, and gonorrhea, as a result of lust. 

Their minds became diseased with syphilitic inflammation of the brain 
as a result of lust. 

The same condition and degradation and diseases, as a result of lust, 
existed among the people of Egypt where the Children of Israel came from. 

The Children of Israel were told to do none of these things that the 
Egyptians did, and none of the abominable things that the Canaanites did. 

The abominable things that the Canaanites did were the conceiving of 
unnatural lust desires within their brains, and yielding to them. 

God said, "For whosoever shall commit any of these abominations even 
the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people." 

Men and women's souls are being cut off from the knowledge of God 
today through the abominations of the lust of the flesh, as of old. 

Lust within the mind has prevented men and women, in all ages, from 
coming into the conscious knowledge and understanding of God, as Spirit 
and Truth. 

Men and women are cohabiting with the lower animals today, as in 
the days of Moses. The state of their minds is an abomination in the 
sight of God. They go insane, as a result. This is the penalty for this 
defiled state of sin. Men are cohabiting with men, today, and women 
with women, as they did in the days of Moses. 

They were practicing this unnatural sin in St. Paul's day. This was a 
common practice in Rome, when Paul wrote his Epistle to the church at 
Rome. He wrote to the Christian church at Rome in his Epistle, con- 
cerning this unnatural condition. Referring to this degraded state of lust, 
and to those who practiced it, St. Paul says, "For this cause God gave them 
up unto vile affections; for even their women did change the natural use 
into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the 
natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men 
with men, working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that 
recompense of their error which was meet." Romans 1:26,27. 

Here we see that the women had become so degraded and unnatural, 
with the lust desires which burned within their brain, that they ceased to 
cohabit with men, in a natural way, but the women preferred to cohabit 
with each other in an unnatural way. 

The men were so degraded in their lust thoughts and desires, that they 
ceased to cohabit with women, and gratified their unnatural lust desires, 
which burned within their brains, in an unnatural way with each other. 

This was the state of thought of the people of Rome, in St. Paul's day. 
Hence, the city of Rome was called Babylon. 

Babylon received it's name, as the result of the degraded state of the 
lust of the people, who inhabited it. 

—Ill— 



The word "Babylon" means the confusion of the senses — that is, the 
sex act. 

The people who lived there became diseased with syphilis, leprosy, 
and gonorrhea, and with all forms of deafness, and insanity, until lust 
destroyed her, and she became, physically, as barren as she was spirit- 
ually barren. 

Rome, in St. Paul's and St. Peter's day, had become as sensual and 
corrupt as Babylon of old, and the people became diseased, in Rome, with 
the diseases of lust. She became the second Babylon. 

Hence, St. Peter, in writing from Rome to the Christian churches, con- 
cludes his first Epistle with these words, "The church that is at Babylon, 
elected together with you saluteth you." 

St. Peter was writing to the Christian churches from the sensual Rome. 
Her people were revelling in lust and the degradation of the flesh, men with 
men, and women with women, and men and women with the lower beast 
creation, just as they had done in Babylon of old. 

Well might St. Peter term Rome, "Babylon." 

Lust diseased the people of Babylon, and rotted away the people of the 
Chaldean Empire, and lust diseased the people of Rome, and destroyed 
the Roman Empire. 

It diseased the brains and bodies of these peoples until they became 
insane, and their flesh rotted upon their bones. These were the plagues 
that destroyed the city of Babylon, and the Chaldean Empire. These 
were the epidemics and plagues that destroyed Rome, and the Roman 
Empire. Such is the recompense of sin. 

God said through Moses to the Children of Israel, "Defile not ye your- 
selves in any of these things; for in all these the nations are defiled which I 
cast out before you." Lev. 18:24. 

Our Lord, dealing with the same idea, said, "But those things which 
proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the 
man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murder, adulteries, forni- 
cations, thefts, false witness, blasphemies." Matt. 15:18-19. 

We note the Master says, that it is those things that "proceedeth out 
of the mouth," which come forth from the heart that defile a man. "The 
heart" is the concrete expression for the mind. The evil is within the mind. 
It is lust thoughts, and they proceed out of the mouth and defile mind, soul, 
and body. 

Our Lord says, "Out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, 
adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blashpemies." All these 
things originate in the mind. They are the result of carnal thoughts. 
They come from the heart, that is the mind. The same state of thought 
that makes them adulterers and fornicators, makes thieves, murderers, 

—112— 



and blasphemers. All these conditions of the mind are of the senses and 
the lust of the flesh. They are within the sex, or sensual mind, and they 
aye idolatry. 

The same idea is brought out in the sixth chapter of Genesis, fourth to 
sixth verses. ''There were giants in the earth in those days; and also 
after that, when the Sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and 
they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of 
old, men of renown. And God saw that the wickedness of man was great 
in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart were 
only evil continually." 

We see here that the wickedness of man, in the earth, was the evil 
thoughts of his heart — that is, lust desires. He thought "evil continually." 
The same evil that he thought, was the evil that deceived Eve — it was lust. 

These evil thoughts and lust desires made the "Sons of God" come in 
unto the daughters of men, and they bare children by them. 

"And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it 
grieved him in his heart." 

The lust of men grieved the Holiness of the Divine Mind. Men were 
the Sons of God until they came in unto the daughters of men, and knew 
them carnally. 

Man, made in God's image, is mind; and he is the Son of God until he 
yields to the lust of the flesh, and loses the image of God, in mind and 
thought. 

"There were giants in the earth in those days." Men were healthy and 
pure, until lust diseased them and destroyed them. 

"The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with 
violence. And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; 
for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth." Gen. 6:11-12. 

"Earth" here means matter, or the carnal and material man. It is the 
flesh of the material man. It was "all flesh" that had become corrupt 
before God. The mind of lust had corrupted the flesh of men and diseased 
them. It was the flesh that was filled with violence. All violence, temper, 
hatred, and blasphemy are within the sex mind. They are of lust, and the 
lust of the flesh. 

Lust had corrupted "all flesh." For "all flesh had corrupted his ways 
upon the earth." Lust had turned the minds of men and women from 
God, and holy and pure thoughts, and had corrupted and diseased all flesh. 

"And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh has come before me; 
for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy 
them with the earth." The original reads, "I will destroy them from the 
earth." Gen. 6:13. 

The human race was corrupt and diseased as the result of lust, and the 

—113— 



end of all flesh came before God. Their lust and degenerate acts caused 
the Holy God to destroy them from the face of the earth. All flesh was 
filled with violence. Lust, hatred, and disease were within the minds and 
consciousness of the people, and God destroyed them from the face of the 
earth, through the Flood. 

"For the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth." Gen. 8:21. 

At puberty, evil imaginations come into the mind of the youth. It is 
there that the "evil eye" our Lord speaks of in Mark 7:22, is seen to give 
forth its expressions of lust and deception. Lust desires then begin to be 
within the thoughts. The heart, that is, the mind, then becomes wicked, 
and thinks lust thoughts and lust desires, and ceases to serve God, as the 
Divine Mind and Creator. From then on to the grave, men's and women's 
minds, have evil imaginations and lust desires. After Nature has failed 
them, and they cannot gratify their lust desires, they have lust in mind 
and thought. 

This lustful state of mind must be overcome for the mind to return to 
the image of the Holy God, and to know God, as Divine Mind, and to see 
him "face to face." 

Our Lord brought this idea out clearly when he said, "For from within, 
out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, 
murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil 
eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness; all these evil things come from within, 
and defile a man." Mark 7:21-23. 

All these are within the mind. They are of the serpent mind. An 
"evil eye" is the serpent's eye. The serpent's eye expresses the state of his 
mind. His eye tells the state of his thought. The state of the serpent's 
mind produces the poison within his fangs that causes death to those into 
whom he injects it, and the serpent's mind is a state of lust. This serpent 
eye is within men and women as the result of their state of mind, and this 
state of mind is hatred, deception, poison and death, and its origin is 
within the sex. 

The sex act between the male and female serpent is the most lustful of 
all the beast creation. » 

The evil within the mind, which is the lust and the love of the flesh, 
within the mind, produces all the evil results that our Lord here enumerates. 

The serpent, which is the sex mind, produces adultery, fornication, 
theft, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blas- 
phemy, pride, foolishness. These are all of the senses and the lust of the 
flesh, and originate within the sex mind, and are idolatry. 

In the twenty-eighth chapter of Deuteronomy are pronounced the 
blessings for purity, and the curses for impurity. 

The blessedness for holiness is here declared, and the curses of the 
serpent are pronounced. 

—114— 



"And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command 
thee this day, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve 
them. But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not harken unto the voice 
of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments, and his statutes 
which I commanded thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon 
thee and overtake thee.' , Deut. 28:14, 15. 

"And thy carcases shall be meat unto all the fowls of the air, and unto 
the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away. The Lord will 
smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with emerods, and with the scab, 
and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. The Lord shalt 
smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart." 
Deut. 28:26, 28. 

The "other gods" here, that the Children of Israel were commanded 
not to serve, were the gods of the senses. These gods are located in the 
senses of the brain and the generative organs. To serve them is to gratify 
the lust of the flesh, through the sex act. 

The true God, that £he Children of Israel were commanded to serve, 
is the God of Spirit and Truth. 

The Children of Israel were told that if they kept his statutes and com- 
mandments, that they should be blessed. To keep the statutes and com- 
mandments of the true God of Spirit, is to deny the gods of the senses, and 
overcome lust, and to live in mind and thought in the spiritual sense of 
being. 

The Children of Israel were told if they did this, that they would be 
blessed — that they would be holy, pure, and healthy. 

But, if they yielded to the gods of the senses, and indulged the lusts of 
the flesh and spilled the sex seed, and failed to keep the statutes and judg- 
ments of the true God of Spirit, that they should be cursed. 

They were told that they should be cursed, as the Egyptians were 
cursed. 

The Egyptians were cursed for the lust of the flesh, and their bodies 
were diseased and rotten with syphilis. Their minds were mad and in- 
flamed with syphilitic germs. Their rotten bodies, where they died with 
syphilis, became meat for the fowls of the air, and for the beasts of the field. 
The living had their bodies covered with syphilitic scabs, and filled with 
syphilitic itch, that could not be healed. 

The living, also, were mad with inflamed raging brains, as the result 
of syphilis. Blindness was everywhere in Egypt, as a result of syphilis 
and gonorrhea. 

Men and women died, in Egypt, as the result of syphilis and gonorrhea. 
Men and women had emerods, in Egypt, as a result of lust. Emerods 
are piles, and they were contracted, in Egypt, by men who had syphilis, 
cohabiting with men. This was syphlitic piles. 

—115— 



The people of Egypt had the botch — that is, syphilitic ulcers and boils. 

The Children of Israel were told that all these curses should come upon 
them if they served the "other gods" — that is, the lust senses of the flesh 
and spilled the sex seed. 

Men and women of today are diseased, as the result of lust, just as 
were the Egyptians of old. 

The mad houses and insane asylums are filled with raging brains, as 
the result of syphilis, masturbation, over-sex indulgence, and unnatural 
sex indulgence. Men and women are today diseased in mind and body, as 
the result of syphilis and gonorrhea, as were the Egyptians. 

Men and women today have scabs, boils, and itch, as the result of 
diseased blood, through syphilis, as did the Egyptians. 

Men and women die today, of heart failure, caused by syphilis and 
gonorrhea, as did the Egyptians. 

The blind are everywhere with us today, as a result of syphilis and 
gonorrhea, as they were in Egypt, in Moses' day. 

The Jews, when they ceased to serve the true God, and served "other 
gods" of the senses, and the lust of the flesh, became diseased, as did the 
Egyptians. 

When they left off serving the true God of Spirit and Truth, and served 
the lust of the flesh, they became a diseased, insane and degenerate people, 
as were all the Pagan peoples around them. 

The "other gods" of the senses destroyed them. 

Jeremiah speaks of this diseased and polluted condition of the Jews, 
as a result of lust. "Thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and 
with thy wickedness." Jer. 3:2. 

Whoredom and wickedness here, by which the Jews polluted the land, 
was the spilling of the sex seed. And the human race today is polluting 
all the land as the Jews did of old. 

"Thou hast a whore's forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed," says 
Jeremiah in third chapter and the third verse. 

This was the state of Israel's mind when Jeremiah wrote these words. 
The whore has a forehead of her own. She is not ashamed, but she is 
brazen. This is her trade-mark. By this trade-mark, she says to every 
man whom she meets, "My polluted body is for sale, if you have the price." 
Her mind has become so degraded in thought, that she has no shame. She 
is abandoned. 

This was the state of mind of Israel when the prophet Jeremiah wrote 
his prophecy. 

Ezekiel defines this state of thought in 3:7, as follows, "But the house 
of Israel will not hearken unto thee; for they will not hearken unto me: for 
all the house of Israel are impudent (the original reads, 'Stiff of forehead 

—116— 



and hard of heart/ this state of thought is within the sex and sensual mind) 
and hard-hearted." 

This was the state of thought of Israel when Ezekiel wrote. They 
were serving the lust of the flesh, and the sex act was their god. And they 
were a diseased and degenerate people, as the Pagans around them. 

Jeremiah tells us, in 3:8, that "Israel's treacherous sister, Judah, feared 
not, but went and played the harlot also." 

"And it came to pass through the likeness of her whoredom, that she 
defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones, and with stocks." 
Jer. 3:9. 

Jeremiah 2:27, defines this state of thought, "Saying to a stock, Thou 
art my father; and to a stone, Thou hast brought me forth (that is begotten 
me); for they have turned their back unto me (the original reads, 'The 
hinder part of their neck') and not their face; but in time of their trouble 
they will say, Arise and save us." 

Jeremiah tells us in the 26th verse of this second chapter, that "As the 
thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, 
their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets." 

They were all in the state of lust, just as Adam and Eve were, when the 
serpent deceived them and they became ashamed. 

The thief becomes ashamed because his act is dishonest. He is con- 
scious of his own dishonesty. 

The sex act is a lie, and all are ashamed of it. 

Israel, her kings, her princes, her priests, and her prophets, were all 
indulging in the sex act, and whoredom. They were going after the strange 
gods of the lust of the flesh, and the sex act, and were ashamed. They 
had "turned their backs," that is, the hinder parts of their necks, "unto 
God." The hinder part of the necks and the base of the head, is where the 
beast of human nature is located. It is here that the sensual facilities are 
located, and they are connected directly through the nervous system, with 
the generative organs. 

Israel was in the sensual thought of these sensual faculties, and they 
turned this thought toward God. 

They worshipped the senses, and not the true God of Spirit. They 
became a diseased race, as were all the Pagan peoples around them 

Solomon brings out this idea, when he dedicated the temple to God, 
which he erected at Jerusalem. In dedicating the temple, in his prayer he 
says, "If there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blast- 
ing, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillars; if their enemies besiege them, in 
the cities of their land, whatsoever sore or whatsoever sickness there be; then 
what prayer, or what supplication soever shall be made of any man or of 
all thy people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own 

—117— 



griei, and shall spread forth his hands in this house; then hear thou from 
Heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man ac- 
cording unto all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou only knowest 
the hearts of the children of men/') 2nd Chron. 6:28, 30. 

The temple, which Solomon erected, was symbolic of the body of Our 
Lord. The seven lamps, or candles, that burned over the altar, in the 
temple and the tabernacle, represented the heavenly number of seven, 
which is spiritual Purity. They here were symbolic of the mind having 
overcome the senses of the seven lobes of the brain. The senses of the 
seven lobes of the brain is seven as an earthly number. 

Our Lord came in the flesh, but was not of the flesh. Hence, the gold 
in the temple represented the purity of his mind. 

The pestilence, and the diseases, which were to come upon the Children 
of Israel, to which Solomon referred, were of the senses. 

The senses of the seven lobes of the brain are controlled by the solar 
system, and so is the propagation of the lower animals, and the seasons. 
The pestilence, to which Solomon refers was to come upon Israel, was 
controlled by the solar system. 

The sores, that were to come upon the Children of Israel, through lust, 
were controlled by the solar system. 

Men and women's passion are controlled by the solar system. Their 
passions disease them, and place sores upon their bodies. 

But King Solomon prayed that all who were thus diseased might pray 
within this house of the temple and be healed. 

As we overcome lust, and make our bodies the temples of God, we are 
healed of sin and disease. As we become pure, as the Saviour was pure, 
we are healed of all sin and all disease, and the golden Temple of Jerusalem 
becomes symbolic of the purities of our bodies. 

Our Lord said of the Temple in Jerusalem, "tear this Temple down, 
and in three days I will raise it up." 

He here referred to his resurrection. He had overcome sin, lust and 
death, and therefore had power to resurrect his body, and on the third day 
he came out of the grave. This is the Temple that he raised up on the 
third day, and not the material Temple in Jerusalem. 

The material Temple, within Jerusalem, lined with gold and with the 
seven candles burning over the altar, were only symbolic of the purity of 
his mind. 

The seven candles, burning over the altar, were symbolic of the truth, 
that in mind and thought, he had overcome the senses of the seven lobes 
of the brain. This state of mind is light. 

The gold within the Temple of Jerusalem was symbolic of the truth 
that his mind was not influenced by, nor adulterated with, the senses of 
the flesh, in mind and thought. 

—118— 



This state of mind and thought made him holy, and the Son of God, and 
his mind and body were not diseased. 

And, as we approach his purity, in mind and thought, we, too, over- 
come disease and death, and our bodies become the Temples of the living 
God.

CHAPTER VIII. 

Evil ever attempts to hide. The boy or the girl, as he or she comes 
into the consciousness of puberty, begins to hide the evil within their 
thoughts. The young girl at puberty begins to hide the evil within her 
consciousness through her dress, and she is conscious that this evil which 
she attempts to hide is within the sex organs. 

Until the consciousness of puberty, she will play with boys, and have 
no consciousness of evil. At puberty he'r thoughts change, and her state 
of consciousness changes. She is then conscious that boys of her age, and 
in puberty, arouse the evil within her. She does not know why, but she 
is conscious of this law of error and state of idolatry. 

The boy at puberty becomes shy and malicious. From puberty to 
maturity his voice undergoes a change, and you can see the devil unfold- 
ing within his thoughts. The nerve cells of his brain and of his entire 
body and of the generative organs, are undergoing a change. 

At the age of puberty the sexual organs of both male and female begin 
to manufacture the sex fluid which flows into the system and the brain and 
feeds the nerve cells of the body and the brain, and as the result of this 
sex fluid flowing through the nerve cells of the brain, carnal imaginations 
and lust desires are conceived within the thoughts, and play within the 
fancy of their imaginations, and lust smiles, and dances, and plays in the 
expression of the eye. This is the serpent eye, which Our Lord called "an 
evil eye." 

As this state of consciousness controls the thoughts and imaginations, 
the young male and female begin to court. They seek seclusion to court. 
It is the serpent within them that causes them to do this. It is the serpent 
attempting to hide. It is evil seeking seclusion. 

The young man and young woman are now in adolescency. At this 
age each feels the vibration from the other. The female is the negative, 
and the male is the positive. Every atom of matter in the universe is 
either negative or positive — that is, male or female. 

This law of the negative and positive forces holds the material universe 
together. It is the law of adhesion. 

In this age of youth, both the young man and the young woman feel a 
.vibration and a stimulation that they cannot explain to their own con- 
sciousness. This vibration and stimulation is within the sex organs. It 
makes them buoyant and imaginative. 

120— 



Carnal ideasjiow predominate in their thoughts. This state of mind 
leads them'to^marry. 

The next step, in seclusion, is the bridal chamber. Evil hides there, 
and they both come forth from the bridal chamber conscious that they 
have been through sin, and that the serpent has deceived them. The 
Cain mark is there, and their countenances have fallen. This is legal- 
ized sin and lust. It is the condition that human society, for the protection 
of society, has imposed upon lust and sin. 

But it is not spiritual and holy. 

Another state of evil is the woman who gives up her virtue without 
being legally married to the man. 

Human custom, and society, as a punishment for her wrong, ostracize 
her, and her countenance falls. The Cain mark is there, and she seeks 
seclusion. This is the serpent hiding. The more intense evil becomes, 
the more it seeks seclusion, and the more secretive it becomes. 

There are degrees of seclusion in the underworld. The house of private 
prostitution operates privately, but not in seclusion and darkness. The 
house of public prostitution, where it is free from crime and murder, will 
only have its window curtains pulled down, and its blinds closed. But 
houses of public prostitution, in the underworld, where crimes and murders 
are committed, will not only have the curtains pulled down, and the blinds 
closed, but also iron bars around their windows, so as to protect the crime 
within. 

The physical conditions are only manifestations of these states of 
thought. Evil operates in the dark. The mind of lust seeks darkness for 
its gratification. Every evil thought seeks seclusion. 

The thief seeks a secret place and awaits for the night to commit his 
theft. The murderer seeks privacy, or the night, to commit his murder. 
Every dishonest thought seeks seclusion, and privacy. 

The boot-black seeks privacy when he prepares to steal a box of shoe 
polish to use in his trade, and diplomats confer privately when they are 
preparing to steal a nation. 

Every dishonest thought is within the senses, or sex, mind. Our Lord 
lived above the senses while here in the flesh, in mind and thought; hence, 
he said, "I have done nothing in secret, but have ever taught in the open." 

His teachings were the light of Truth. They did not have to seek the 
night of the senses, for expression. But evil, and the serpent mind, has 
sought seclusion, and to hide, in interpreting his teachings of Truth, and 
in the translation of the Bible. 

The true meaning of the Bible, that evil is the lust of the flesh and the 
sex act and the spilling of the sex seed, has been kept from the people. 
Those who have assumed the interpretation of the Bible have let the serpent 

—121— 



hide, in explaining, under the coat of false modesty, hyprocrisy, and decep- 
tion. 

Those, who have assumed to translate the Bible, have concealed the 
serpent. They have hid the thought of the serpent's mind from the 
people in language, and thus covered up the cause of crime, disease and 
insanity and the sorrows of the race. They have concealed what sin is. 

The penalty for sin is death, and the nature of sin should be explained. 

Sin is defined in the Mosaic Law. The degraded state of sin, whereby 
human beings cohabit with lower animals, had a penalty fixed upon it, 
under the Mosaic Law, and this penalty was death. 

"And if a man lie with a beast, he shall surely be put to death: and ye 
shall slay the beast. And if a woman approach unto any beast, and lie down 
thereto, thou shalt kill the woman, and the beast: they shall surely be put 
to death; their blood shall be upon them." Lev. 20:15-16. 

The term translated "lie" here, means to cohabit. Men and women 
were cohabiting with beasts, in Moses' day, and the penalty fixed, under 
the Mosaic Law, was death. It was the most degraded state that the 
rnind of man could reach, and the penalty was fixed at death. 

"Cursed be he that lieth with any manner of beast. And all the people 
shall say Amen." Deut. 27:21. 

Men and women, who cohabit with beasts, were cursed in Moses' day, 
and those, who have reached that degraded state today, are cursed, and 
have been in every age. They have the Cain mark upon them. Their 
degraded state of thought is expressed in their faces. 

In the twenty-seventh chapter of Deuteronomy, we have the curses 
pronounced for the violation of the law, and these curses are of the sensual 
and sex mind. 

In the twenty-sixth verse and the conclusion of this chapter it is said, 
"Cursed be he that confirmeth not all the words of this law to do them. 
And all the people shall say, Amen." 

He that confirmeth all the words of the law to do them overcometh 
lust and lives righteously — that is, above the lust of the flesh in mind and 
thought, and he is not cursed. 

Those who violate the law of righteousness are cursed with disease, 
crime, insanity and death. 

In the fourteenth and fifteenth chapters of Leviticus we have the un- 
clean and their diseases described. 

The unclean are those who have running sores, and they are diseased 
as the result of lust. 

In the fourteenth chapter of Leviticus, the priests are told how to treat 
the unclean. 

"This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall, and for 

—122— 



the leprosy of a garment, and of a house, and for a rising, and for a scab, and 
for a bright spot: to teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is 
the law of leprosy.'' Lev. 14:54 to 57. 

Leprosy is the result of lust. It is the most intense form of the syphil- 
itic germ. It is one of the plagues of the Bible, and one of the plagues of 
lust and sin. 

In the fifteenth chapter of Leviticus, we have the unclean, with their 
running sores, described. "And the Lord spake unto Moses and to Aaron, 
saying, Speak unto the Children of Israel, and say unto them, when any 
man hath a running issue out of the flesh, because of his issue he is un- 
clean." Lev. 15:1-2. 

The Jews were diseased with syphilis and gonorrhea, and their gener- 
ative organs were discharging the unclean matter, and their bodies were 
covered with running sores, just as the bodies of men and women are today, 
as the result of lust. 

Men and women's bodies have been diseased with running sores, in all 
ages, as the result of lust. 

Lust has destroyed the bodies of men and women ever since the Fall. 

Consumption is one of the by-products of syphilis. It is the product 
of lust, either directly or indirectly. 

"And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, 
so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my coven- 
ant; I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, 
consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause 
sorrow of heart; and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall 
eat it." Lev. 26:15-16. 

The statutes of God are of spiritual sense, and his judgments are of 
spiritual sense. All who overcome the material senses and the lust of the 
flesh, walk with God in mind and thought, and keep his statutes and judg- 
ments. Those who live above the lust of the flesh keep all his command- 
ments. Those who are so pure in mind and thought, that they live above 
the thought of the sex act in mind keep his covenant. Those who yield to the 
love of the flesh, and spill the sex seed, violate his commandments, and his 
covenant. 

Material science sustains the fact, that over sex-indulgence weakens 
the system and produces tuberculosis. The tuberculosis germ, in turn, 
stimulates the brain and the sex passion until the victim of this plague, will 
indulge through masturbation, or sexual intercourse, and finally destroy 
his or herself. This tuberculosis germ, coursing through the brain, ex- 
citing the sex passion, is the "burning ague," described here, in Leviticus, 
and it is the "terror" here described, that destroys them. This "terror" 
of the tuberculosis germ is the menace of the race and it is the result of lust. 
It is one of the curses of the serpent. 

—123— 



"And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command 
thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve 
them. But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of 
the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes 
which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come unto thee, 
and overtake thee." Deut. 28:14-15. 

In the remainder of this chapter follows the curses that were pronounced 
upon sin. Those, who leave off serving the true God of Spirit, to "go after 
other gods to serve them," are cursed. 

"The other gods" are the senses. As the girl comes into puberty, the 
lust senses in the brain begin to develop into consciousness. These nerves 
develop into consciousness, simultaneously, within the breast, generative 
organs, and the brain of the female. From then on, these nerves become 
"the other gods" of the Bible, to her thought. She serves these senses in 
mind and thought, and finally yields to them, in the sex act, when she gives 
up her virtue. These senses are "the other gods" of the first command- 
ment, and when you serve these gods of the senses, you break all the other 
commandments. He who keeps the first commandment, keeps all the other 
commandments. For all the other^ commandments are included in the 
first. 

The senses, at puberty, develop into consciousness within the brain 
and generative organs of the male, and become his "other gods." We are 
told in the first commandment, "Thou shalt have no other gods before me," 
— that is, we are to keep the true God of Spirit in mind and thought, and 
not the gods of the senses. 

When we violate this commandment we yield to the other gods of the 
senses, commit the sex act, spill the sex seed, and go into a state of idolatry, 
and "are cursed." 

The curse of the senses takes on many natures and forms. In the 
twenty-eighth chapter of Deuteronomy, eighteenth verse, we are told, 
"Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body." 

This curse of lust is fulfilled in many ways, and through many plagues. 
The child may be born blind, as a result of the mother having had gonorrhea. 
It may be born an idiot, as a result of the father or mother having had 
syphilis. It may be born a paralytic, as a result of the father or mother 
having had syphilis. It may be born with unnatural sex desires, as a 
result of the unnatural sex thoughts of the mother. We know, personally, 
of a case, where a man, all of his life, lusted to cohabit with a cow. He 
fought it all through life. It was his battle. He confessed it. His mother, 
in all probability, had seen the cow and the bull cohabiting, when she was 
carrying him within her womb, and had had her sex passions aroused in 
this way. At least, his mother had had a sex thought of a cow while 
carrying this child, and the man bore the curse. 

—124— 



Women are born dog-lovers, as the result of the lust for a dog, on the 
part of their mothers, while carrying them. 

Both men and women are born masturbators, as a result of masturba- 
tion on the part of their parents. 

Men and women are born with the abnormal disease of the sex> passion 
being located within the tongue and jaw, as the result of the unnatural sex 
thought, and unnatural sex acts on the parts of their parents. 

These are some of the curses of the fruits of the body, as a result of lust 
in mind and act. 

To illustrate the law as to how the mind of the mother marks the child, 
we here give an illustration. A man was stabbed. He ran into the house 
with blood flowing from him. The mother, from four to eight months with 
child, saw the man with the blood flowing and she threw both hands up to 
her face. When the child was born, it had two bloody spots, one on each 
side of its face. When the child grew to maturity, these spots were as 
large as your hand. This was the effect of what the mother saw, through 
the senses, upon the child. 

The brain and spinal cord of the child develops during the first four 
months of gestation. If the mother is lustful during these four months 
the child will be lustful. If the mother cohabits frequently during these 
four months, the child will be lustful. If she indulges in unnatural sexual 
intercourse, or with a dog, during these four months, the child will, in all 
probability, be cursed with this unnatural lust desire. Many an un- 
fortunate child has been cursed with the unnatural lust for dogs, and with 
natural desires of the sex passion within the tongue and jaw, as a result 
of the sin of the mother. 

During the first four months of gestation, while the brain and spine are 
developing, the sins of the mother curse the child more easily than during 
the last five months of gestation. 

But every mother owes it to God, herself, and her child, to keep her 
mind pure, and to meditate upon spiritual things, and spiritual thoughts, 
during gestation. 

Every father owes it to his offspring, to himself, and to God, to restrain 
from sexual intercourse with his wife, during gestation, and to do all in his 
power to keep her mind pure, and her thoughts spiritual, so that the fruit 
of her body will not be cursed with unnatural lust. 

"The Lord shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and 
with an inflammation." Deut. 28:22. 

Here we have consumption declared as one of the curses, as a result of 
lust. Tuberculosis, commonly called consumption, in its ripe stage, takes 
on the nature of fever and inflammation. The fever of the germ excites the 
sex passion and the patient indulges until he destroys himself. This is 

—125— 



one of the curses, declared in Deuteronomy, for not "walking in the 
ordinances and statutes of God." 

The emblem of the Chinese Empire is the dragon. It is their national 
emblem. It is symbolic of the state of their thoughts, as a race. Nations, 
like individuals, give expression to that which is within their thought and 
consciousness. The national emblem of China, which is the dragon, ex- 
presses the thought of the Chinese people, as a race. The lust thought, 
within them, as a race, is very subtle. It is very cunning. As a race they 
are sensual, and as a race, they are consumptives and syphilitics. 

Consumption, with them, is found in its worst stages, and Chinese 
syphilis, is the worst form of syphilis. 

The law of the serpent is, that it will destroy itself. The snake, if it 
cannot empty its poisonous fangs into you, and kill you, through rage and 
hatred, will turn upon itself, and empty its poison into its own veins, and 
thus kill itself. This is the law of self-destruction, and the snake, in nature, 
is symbolic of the thought of lust within the mind, which is self-destruction. 

A woman will become so infatuated with a man, that if she cannot 
have him sexually, to gratify her lust, will try to kill him, and if she cannot 
kill him, she will kill herself. 

The same is true as to the man. He will become so infatuated with a 
woman, that if he cannot have her body to gratify his lust, he will kill her. 
If he cannot kill her, he will kill himself. It is the law of self-destruction. 
It is lust in thought. It is consumption — that is, self-destruction, and all, 
who are not "walking in the ordinances and statutes of God," — that is, 
who are not keeping their minds pure, and free from the lust of the flesh 
in thought and desire, are destroying themselves. This is the curse of the 
serpent, which is pronounced all through the Bible. 

The curses are all through the Old Testament, and these curses are 
leprosy, syphilis, gonorrhea, insanity, blindness, deafness, running sores, 
boils, scabs, and every shape and form of disease, as a result of lust. 

The priests were told, under the Mosaic Law, to make an atonement for 
the peopl?, who were afflicted with these diseases and conditions. 

"Atonement" means At-one-ment. As we forsake the love of the lust 
of the flesh, in mind, thought, and act, and come into the consciousness of 
the spiritual sense of being, we think spiritual thoughts, and spiritual 
ideas, and are "at-one" with God, in mind and thought, and thus atone 
for our sins. 

When we shall have completely overcome the lust of the flesh, in thought 
and desire, and shall have come into the complete spiritual sense of being, 
and shall only think spiritual thoughts and ideas, we shall be entirely 
"at-one" with God, in mind and thought. We shall have completely 
atoned for our sins, and shall entirely be healed of lust, sin, sickness, and 
death, 

—126— 



By this law of Truth and Spiritual Understanding, the priests were 
commanded to heal the diseased, under the Mosaic Law. 

Our Divine Saviour, while here in the flesh, was in Heaven in mind and 
thought, and healed those who were diseased with leprosy, insanity, deaf- 
ness, blindness, and all manner of diseases as the result of lust. 

He commanded his disciples "To go thou, and do like wise.' ' He said, 
"In my name ye shall do greater things than these." 

The Truth will heal today, as then. God does not change. The Christ 
does not change. The Christ is the same today as in the days of old, when 
Jesus walked over the hills of Judea, and the valleys of Galilee, raising the 
dead, restoring sight to the blind, and hearing to the deaf, and cleansing 
those diseased with leprosy. 

When he had cleansed those who were diseased with leprosy, he told 
them to go show themselves to the priest. This was a rebuke to the carnal- 
ity of the priesthood of his day. The priesthood of his day could have 
healed those diseased with leprosy, as did the Master, had they possessed 
His purity of mind. 

The Christ mind was in Eden, when man was made in God's image, 
and this Christ mind was the Tree of Life, and it was not lost until lust 
was yielded to. When lust shall have been completely overcome, the 
Christ mind shall re-enter consciousness, as the Tree of Life; then the 
leprosy of lust, disease, and death will be dispelled from consciousness. 

"And when he was come to the other side, into the country of the Gerge- 
senes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, 
exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way. And, behold, 
they cried out saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of 
God? Art thou come hither to torment us before the time? And there 
was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding. So the 
devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into 
the herd of swine. And he said unto them, Go. And when they were 
come out, they went into the herd of swine; and, behold, the whole herd of 
swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the 
waters." Matt. 8:28, 32. 

St. Mark, in his account of this incident, says, "And they came over 
unto the otherside of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes. And 
when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the 
tombs a man with an unclean spirit, who had his dwelling among the tombs; 
and no man could bind him, no, not with chains: because that he had been 
often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked 
asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: Neither could any man 
tame him. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in 
the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. But when he saw 

—127— 



Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, And cried with a loud voice, and 
said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the Most High God? 
I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not. For he said unto him, 
Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit. And he asked him, What is thy 
name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many. 
And he besought him much, that he would not send them away out of the 
country. Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of 
swine feeding. And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the 
swine, that we may enter into them. And forthwith Jesus gave them 
leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine; and 
the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about 
two thousand); and were choked in the sea." Mark 5:1-13. 

St. Luke, in his account of this happening, says, "And they arrived at 
the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee. And when he 
went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had 
devils long time, and wear no clothes, neither abode he in any house, but 
in the tombs. When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, 
and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son 
of God Most High? I beseech thee, torment me not. (For he had com- 
manded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had 
caught him; and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake 
the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness). And Jesus 
asked him, saying, What is thy name'? And he said, Legion; because many 
devils were entered into him. And they besought him that he would not 
command them to go out into the deep. And there was there an herd of 
many swine feeding on the mountain; and they besought him that he would 
suffer them to enter into them; and he suffered them. Then went the 
devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: And the herd ran violent- 
ly down a steep place into the lake, and were choked. When they that fed 
them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in 
the country. Then they went out to see what was done; and came to 
Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting 
at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 
They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of 
the devils was healed. " Luke 8:26-36. 

"And they came to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with devils 
and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind; and they were 
afraid." Mark 5:15. 

Whether there were two men, as recorded by St. Matthew, or one man 
as recorded by St. Luke and St. Mark, diseased, is immaterial. The fact is 
that there was an awful state of mind and consciousness here. The party 
or parties, were possessed of devils of the most violent nature. The state 

—128— 



of thought, here, was a degraded condition. We have men and women 
around us daily, in the state of thought, as is here recorded. Men and 
women are in the insane asylums throughout the world, in the same state 
of thought, from masturbation. The insane asylums are filled with men 
and women in just as bad a mental state and condition as here recorded, 
by having the opposite sex to commit the sex act on them, with their 
mouths. The insane institutions are filled with men and women, who are 
there in as bad a state of thought, as here recorded through cohabiting with 
lower animals. 

Women are in the insane asylum throughout the world, in as bad a 
state of thought as here recorded, who have used dogs for sex purposes. 
And men and women are in the insane asylums in as bad a state of thought, 
as here recorded, through over-sex indulgence. 

The serpent, through these abnormal conditions, has softened, dis- 
eased, and inflamed the cells of their brains, and men and women are filled 
with these devils — that is, these evils, and unnatural sex thoughts, and they 
cry out, day and night, giving expression to their unnatural state of con- 
sciousness. 

Men and women are in the insane asylums, throughout the world, with 
their brains inflamed with syphilitic germs, and in as bad a state of thought, 
as here recorded. 

This man had an "unclean spirit' ' — that is, an unclean mind. His un- 
natural state of sex thought had produced this raging condition. He had 
probably been possessed with the unnatural sex thought of having the 
female to use her mouth upon him, for sex purposes, until he had softening 
of the brain. This unnatural sex indulgence soon produces softening of the 
brain, and the mental condition, as here recorded. 

The insane asylums are filled with people in this condition. 

Our Lord commanded the "unclean spirit" to come out of him — that 
is, he changed his state of thought from the unnatural sex thought to 
purity. Then he sat at Our Lord's feet "clothed and in his right mind." 

All the race sit at Our Lord's feet, clothed and in their right minds, as 
the race overcomes the possession of the senses, and evil sex thoughts, and 
comes into the consciousness of the spiritual sense of being, and the spirit- 
ual idea of God, as the Infinite Mind. 

This mad man was clothed and in his right mind when the possession 
of the last unnatural sex thought went out of his consciousness. His state 
of thought was such, that it made the swine go mad when his thoughts 
entered their minds. The swine is a sensual animal. The orthodox Jew 
would not eat hog meat, and especially would an orthodox Jew not eat 
ham. The sex organs of a hog are located in the hinder parts, and the 
rankness of his flesh, in the hinder part, is unclean. It is so sensual in its 
nature that the orthodox Jew would not eat it. 

—129— 



Yet this man was in such an awful state of mind, and possessed of such 
abnormal sex thoughts, that when his thoughts entered the consciousness 
of the hogs, they made the hogs go mad. 

Men and women are in the insane asylums, who are mad through un- 
natural sex indulgence, and have to be chained to keep them from cutting 
and destroying their bodies. They are possessed of devils — that is, un- 
natural sex thoughts, and the inflammation of the brain, as the result of lust, 
and this state of mind must be overcome before they can "sit at Our Lord's 
feet, clothed and in their right mind.' , 

As they overcome the material sense of being, and come into the con- 
sciousness of the spiritual sense of being, these devils — that is, sex thoughts 
— are cast out of their consciousness, and they are restored to their right 
minds. 

All the race is insane, and has been ever since Adam and Eve had sex- 
ual relations. The sex act is the essence of insanity. All love of the flesh 
is insanity. Lust is insanity, per se. One man may be possessed of the 
insane thought of lust of the flesh, in one way, and another man in another 
way. One woman may be possessed by one man, in one way, and by 
another man in another way. But all sex possession, between the sexes, 
is insanity. There are degrees of it. The sex thought may take this turn 
or that turn, of possession, but its vibration is the thought of the sex act, 
which is insanity; and this possession of the sex thought when it abnormally 
gets control of the mind leads to madness, the insane asylum, and suicide 
and murder. 

Our Lord was the only perfect sane being that ever walked this earth 
He was here in the flesh, but not of the flesh. He was in Heaven, in thought, 
while here in the flesh. He was free from the sex thought, while in the flesh. 
He was divine in his nature and his thoughts, and therefore sane. He 
lived in the spiritual sense of being while here in the material senses, and 
therefore, cast out devils — that is, sex thoughts — out of the mind and con- 
sciousness of others possessed with them. 

In proportion as we reach his purity, in mind and thought, we can cast 
out devils — that is, sensual thoughts — out of the mind and consciousness 
of others, who are possessed by them, and restore them to their right minds. 

The "woes" are all through the Bible. The plagues are all through the 
Bible. Pestilence and famine are all through the Bible. The solar system 
controls the sensual or sex mind, which produces the woes and plagues that 
follow as the result of lust. The solar system controls the seasons, which 
produce droughts, pestilences, and famines. 

The solar system controls the sensual mind and the sex senses, and pro- 
duces the desire for lust with its woes and plagues. 

When the material senses are overcome, in thought and mind, the 

—130— 



material solar system will be no more, in thought, and there will be no /) 
more lust, and no more plagues, and no more woe. 

This is the "falling of the stars, and the firmament rolling away, like a 
scroll" at the end of time, as recorded in the Holy Scriptures. 

The Lord told Noah that he would not destroy the earth any more by 
flood. He made a covenant to this effect, and hung a rainbow in the sky, 
as the emblem of his covenant. 

Water is the emblem of purity. He saved the race from lust, through 
water, by the flood, and he promised that he would not do it any more, but 
he said the next time that it should be destroyed by fire. That he would 
not conserve the race by saving some of each sex — but would let the race 
go to the limit of lust and destroy itself. Fire, here, is symbolic of the 
consuming flames of lust. All the race have the lake of fire and brimstone 
burning within them, at puberty. All the race have had the lake of fire and 
brimstone within them, burning, at puberty, ever since the serpent entered 
into consciousness, and Adam and Eve indulged in sexual intercourse, and 
fell. All the race is commanded to overcome this lake of fire and brim- 
stone, burning within the lust senses of their brains, and if the race will 
not overcome, they shall be destroyed by this lake of fire and brimstone. 

The results of this lake of fire and brimstone, burning within the cells 
of the brain of the race, are the woes and plagues of the race, and these 
woes and plagues are* insanity and disease, in every form and nature. 

This lake of fire and brimstone of lust, burning within the brain cells of 
the race shall finally destroy the race, through diseases, insanity, plagues, 
and woes. 

Then the end of time, and the end of the senses, and the end of matter 
shall be at hand, and the solar system shall fall, and the firmament shall 
roll away, like a scroll, and those who have not overcome will have burning 
lust of the flesh in their minds. This is Hell. 

"Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the Lord, 
and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? And who 
knoweth us?" Isaiah 29:15. 

The snake operates in the dark. Evil ever attempts to hide. Lust 
seeks a secret place to indulge the senses. Night is the time of the sex act 
and of death. It is then that men and women copulate and spill the sex 
seed. 

"Woe to the rebellious children, saieth the Lord, that take counsel, but 
not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my Spirit, that they 
may add sin to sin; that walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked 
at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to 
trust in the shadow of Egypt." Isaiah 30:1-2. 

The people of Egypt were a sensual people. Every degraded state of 

* 

—131— V 



sex thought prevailed there. Men were cohabiting with men, and women 
were cohabiting with women there. Men were indulging unnaturally 
sexually with men, with their mouths, and women were using their mouths 
for sex purposes upon men, in Egypt. 

The art and literature of Egypt prove this state of degraded sex 
thought. The Sphinx came out of this idea. It was the result of an un- 
natural sex idea. The pagan priests of Egypt had reached that degraded 
state of sex thought, wherein it was a common practice among them to 
cohabit with the dead bodies of women. This practice was so common 
among the degraded pagan priesthood of Egypt that the Jewish priesthood, 
under the Mosaic Law, were commanded "not to cohabit with dead bodies, 
as did the Egyptian priests. ,, 

Isaiah here says, "Woe to rebellious children, saith the Lord, that take 
counsel, but not of me; And cover with a covering but not of my Spirit', 
that they may add sin to sin. ,, 

The counsel that the rebellious children of Israel had taken was not of 
the Lord, but of the senses. It was of lust, "that*they might add sin to 
sin," and go after these gods of lust, the senses — that is, by cohabiting and 
spilling the sex seed for the pleasure of the senses, and the Lord said, "that 
they should walk to go down into Egypt." 

Egypt was the land of the senses. It was the land of sex degeneracy, 
and Israel went into this state of mind and thought. 

The race is in this state of mind and thought today. The race is as 
degenerate, in sex thought, as it was in the days of the times of the Egypt- 
ians. 

I, personally, know of a physician who delivered a prominent society 
woman of a litter of six pups, during my day. 

I, personally, have conversed with one of the leading detectives of New 
York City, who has for many years given his time to investigating the 
evidence in the social troubles and divorce cases of the social rich, pending 
in the courts of that city; and he gives it to me as his honest opinion that 
twenty-five per cent, of the women of the society people and idle rich, who 
are within the years of sex vigor, are either using dogs, for sex purposes, or 
using their mouths upon men, for that purpose. 

I have conversed with other men, who have had similar experiences to 
this man, and they tell me that this is a common practice among the 
society women, and the idle rich, in the cities. What is true in the large 
cities of this country, is true in Paris, Berlin, London, and the large cities 
throughout the entire world. 

Sodom and Gomorrah prevail in the consciousness of the race today, 
as of old. The destroying of Sodom and Gomorrah, by fire, was symbolic 

—132— 



of the fact that the people there destroyed themselves, through lust. Lust 
had diseased them, and run them insane, and the fire of lust destroyed 
them. The same fire that destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, is burning 
within the cells of the race today, and it is diseasing and destroying the race. 

There are about fifty millions of soldiers, of the different nations, now 
at war, and it is estimated that these fifty million men are sixty-five per 
cent, inefficiency, as the result of lust. Their inefficiency is due to physical 
weakness and diseases inherited, as the result of lust of their ancestors, or 
the result of diseases contracted through lust. 

Hundreds of thousands of these soldiers are so diseased with syphilis 
and gonorrhea that they had to retire from the army and be confined in 
the hospitals for treatment. 

Lewd women follow the armies of all these nations and disease the 
soldiers. This is a natural result. 

The condition of thought which produces war, produces lust. The 
same state of mind that makes men want to fight and murder, causes them 
to want to cohabit with women. 

Purity brings peace of mind, and peace of soul. Lust produces war 
within the mind, and murder and death within thought and action. 

While I write, about fifty million men are fighting in Europe, and they 
are destroying the tapestry, the art and the literature that the serpent has 
been producing for thousands of years. It is the serpent working out its 
own destruction. 

Disease and syphilis and insanity rule in all Europe, while I write. 

"Woe" means grief, sorrow, misery, heavy calamity and a curse. These 
conditions all come out of the lust of the flesh. They are the results of the 
carnal imaginations, of the sex senses and of the brain, and they are disease, 
insanity, sores, pestilence, famine, wars and death. They are the "be- 
ginning of sorrows," spoken of by Our Lord on the night before his cruci- 
fixion. 

"And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, 
saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by 
reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet 
to sound." Rev. 8:13. 

"The inhabiters of the earth," here, are the inhabiters of the flesh. 
They are those who live within the senses, and for the senses. They are 
those who serve the other gods — that is, those who serve the senses of the 
seven lobes of the brain, and the generative organs. They are those who 
live for the lust of the flesh and the sex act. Woe unto them, for they are 
cursed. ^ 

"Error wounded, dies." Lust, working out its course of destruction, 
poisons the mind, and then destroys the race. 

—133— 



Nations rise and fall, on the senses, with one woe following another woe. 

But we are told in Revelation, that to those who overcome, "that there 
will be no more sorrow, pain, and suffering, for God shall wipe away all 
tears." 

"Woes" are all through the Bible and Revelation, for those who inhabit 
the earth — that is, for those who live in the senses, and for the senses. 
Those who live for the lust of the flesh, are at war and strife, diseased and 
insane. 

We are told in Revelation, "If any man shall add unto these things, God 
shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book." Rev. 22:18. 

In Deuteronomy, we are told, "Now therefore hearken, Israel, unto 
the statutes and unto the judgments which I teach you, for to do them, 
that ye may live,- and go in and possess the land which the Lord God of 
your Fathers giveth you. Ye shall not add unto the word which I command 
you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the com- 
mandments of the Lord your God which I command you." Deut. 4:1-2. 

"Every word of God is pure; he is a shield unto them that put their 
trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and 
thou be found a liar. Prov. 30:5-6. 

Solomon tells us, here, that the word of God is pure — that is, he is holy 
and noncarnal in thought. His word is the expression of his mind as purity 
and holiness. Those who add to his word, add to his mind of purity and take 
on the senses in thought, and the desire for the lust of the flesh, and become 
impure in mind, thought, and act, and God adds unto them the plagues of 
the flesh of the Holy Scripture, which are syphilis, leprosy, gonorrhea, and 
all the diseases that come therefrom, and are the by-products thereof, and 
insanity, greed, war and strife, and finally, self destruction and death. 

This was the condition of thought that prevailed in Egypt, when Moses 
was told to lead the Children of Israel out of Egypt. The plagues, visited 
upon the Egyptians, were the result of their lust. 

The sensual mind is filled with greed, avarice, and oppression. This 
state of thought made Pharoah want to oppress the Children of Israel. 
The oppression was within his sex thought. Lust, likewise, makes a man 
its servant, and becomes his master. 

The Children of Israel, going into bondage in Egypt, was symbolic 
of their state of mind. It was symbolic of the fact that they were in bond- 
age to the lust of the flesh. 

Their deliverance from bondage, in Egypt, was symbolic, that they 
were being delivered from the bondage of lust and sensuality, and led into 
the land of purity, and were being delivered from the plagues of Egypt, 
which are the plagues— r that is, the diseases that follow as a result of the 
lust of the flesh. 

—134— 



In the eighteenth chapter of Leviticus, we find the following, "And the 
Lord spake unto Moses, saying, "Speak unto the Children of Israel, and 
say unto them, I am the Lord your God. After the doings of the land of 
Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land 
of Canaan, whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in 
their ordinances. Ye shall do my judgments, and keep mine ordinances, 
to walk therein: I am the Lord your God. Ye shall therefore keep my 
statutes, and my judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: I am 
the Lord. None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, 
to uncover their nakedness: I am the Lord. The nakedness of thy father, 
or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother: 
thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. The nakedness of thy father's 
wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness. The nakedness 
of thy sister, the daughter of thy father, or daughter of thy mother, whether 
she be born at home, or born abroad, even their nakedness thou shalt not 
uncover. The nakedness of thy son's daughter, or of thy daughter's 
daughter, even their nakedness thou shalt not uncover: for their's is thine 
own nakedness. The nakedness of thy father's wife's daughter, begotten 
of thy father (she is thy sister) thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. Thou 
shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's sister: she is thy father's 
near kinswoman. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy mother's 
sister: for she is thy mother's near kinswoman. Thou shalt not uncover 
the nakedness of thy father's brother, thou shalt not approach to his wife: 
she is thine aunt. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter- 
in-law: she is thy son's wife; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. Thou 
shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife: it is thy brother's 
nakedness. Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her 
daughter, neither shalt thou take her son's daughter, or her daughter's 
daughter, to uncover her nakedness; for they are her near kinswomen; it is 
wickedness. Neither shalt thou take a wife to her sister, to vex her, to 
uncover her nakedness, beside the other, in her life time. Also thou shalt 
not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is 
put apart for her uncleanness. Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with 
thy neighbor's wife, to defile thyself with her. And thou shalt not let any 
of thy seed pass through the fire to Molech, neither shalt thou profane the 
name of thy God: I am the Lord. Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with 
womankind: it is abomination. Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to 
defile thyself ^there with : neither shall any woman stand before a beast to 
lie down thereto: it is confusion. Defile not ye yourselves in any of these 
things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: 
And the land is defiled : therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and 
the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants. Ye shall therefore keep my 

—135— 



statutes and my Judgments, and shall not commit any of these abomin- 
ations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth 
among you: (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, 
which were before you, and the land is defiled;) That the land spue you 
not out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before 
you. For whoseover shall commit any of these abominations, even the 
souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people. There- 
fore shall ye keep mine ordinance, that ye commit not any one of these 
abominable customs, which were committed before you, and that ye defile 
not yourselves therein: I am the Lord your God." 

Herein are set out the "doings" of the people of Egypt, and the people 
of Canaan. The unmentionable names and conditions of sensuality were 
their "doings." 

Herein are named the "ordinances" of the people of Egypt, and the 
people of Canaan. Their "ordinances" were of the senses, and the degraded 
states of sex lust here named in the eighteenth chapter of Leviticus, as a 
result of this degraded state of lust the people of Egypt, and the people of 
Canaan were diseased with all manner and forms and conditions of diseases. 

The Lord told the Children of Israel to leave the land of Egypt, and go 
into the land of Canaan, and drive out the Canaanites before them. This 
was all symbolic of leaving the land of bondage to lust, and the driving of 
lust out of mind and consciousness. 

The Lord told the Children of Israel that they should do none of the 
things that the Egyptians did, nor any of the doings of the Canaanites, 
but should walk in his judgments and statutes, that he "was the Lord their 
God." That is, he, as Infinite Mind, was their good, and that the lust of 
the senses was not their good. The lust senses were the gods of the Egypt- 
ians and Canaanites, and their gods diseased them and made them insane. 
The ordinances and statutes of God are of spiritual sense. They are not 
of matter. They are not of the flesh. They are of the mind purified from 
the love of the flesh, and free from lust, and this state of mind heals the mind 
and soul. The mind, purified, heals the body. The impure mind diseases 
the body. 

While writing these pages, a case that illustrates the truth of this law, 
was presented to the author. 

The author was waiting in the reception room of a medical doctor's 
office to see the doctor, on business. There was an elderly gentleman 
waiting to see the physician, and he engaged the author in conversation, 
and began to tell him about his diseases and woes. This man said his 
sense of taste and smell were both gone. That he could not discern the 
taste of roast beef from any other matter. That he could not discern the 
difference, in taste, between molasses and oil. That he could not discern 

—136— 



the difference, in smell, of flowers from any other plant. He said that his 
bladder was diseased, and gave him much trouble, as did, also, his kidneys. 
After the gentleman went out, the physician said to me, "there is a living 
illustration of the truth of your writings on the Bible. I said, "Of course. 
Which has he had, doctor, syphilis, or gonorrhea" The doctor said, 
"More probably, gonorrhea when a boy, and had it dried upon him, but 
the germs were left in his body, and they have diseased his kidneys and 
bladder, and diseased the sensory nerves. He might have had syphilis, 
too, but I think it is a case of gonorrhea, only." This man had walked in 
the ordinances of the Egyptians and Canaanites, and in his old age, was 
paying for the sins of his youth. 

Masturbation destroys the sensory nerve system. It will bring on 
blindness, deafness, and the want of taste and smell. Over sex indulgence 
will do the same thing. 

"The doings" of the Egyptians and the Canaanites are death, and all 
who "walk in the ordinances of the Egyptians and Canaanites," must pay 
the penalty for their sins and for having yielded to lust. Truly, "the wages 
of sin is death." 

The people of this age, in which I write, are walking in the "ordinances 
of the Egyptians and Canaanites," as of old. The leading hotels, in the 
great social centers of America, and Europe, and the inns at the social 
resorts, where the idle rich are housed, in many instances, have to keep 
separate rooms, and apartments, to house the dogs of the idle rich women. 
These rich and idle women, who live for the senses, and live in the senses, 
have their dogs for their daily companions. Their relations are such, that 
the proprietors of the hotels and inns, in many instances, will not let these 
idle women take the dogs with them to their rooms, but require them to 
send the dogs to a separate apartment, kept especially for them. These 
women are dog lovers in thought, if not in act, and many of them are dog 
lovers in act. They prefer a dog, sexually, to a man. 

There are just as many women today, who are dog lovers, as there were 
when Moses wrote the eighteenth chapter of Leviticus, prohibiting women 
from cohabiting with beasts. 

"Even as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities about them in like manner 
giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set 
forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire." Jude 7. 

The term "strange flesh," in the original, reads "other flesh." The 
"other flesh," is the flesh of the lower beast creation. Men and women, 
in Sodom and Gomorrah, were not only cohabiting, men with men, and 
women with women, but with the lower beast creation. 

St. Peter refers to this degraded state of lust, as "brute beast." 

St. Jude here tells us that the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah 

—137— 



shall suffer the vengeance of "eternal fire." This is the fire of consuming 
lust, burning within the mind. The physical destruction of Sodom and 
Gomorrah, as physical cities, by fire, is symbolic of the consuming fire of 
lust, burning within the city of the mind that loves the flesh. No one can 
read this nineteenth chapter of Genesis, where the account of the destruc- 
tion of Sodom and Gomorrah, is set forth, without seeing that it is all 
symbolic, and that the destruction of these cities, by physical fire, was sym- 
bolic of the fire of consuming lust, that was burning within the minds of 
the people that inhabited them. 

The real cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were within the minds of the 
people who lived there. The real fire that destroyed them was the con- 
suming fire of lust, burning within their minds and thoughts. 

Lot was commanded, by the angel, to "Arise, take thy wife and thy 
two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of 
the city — the original reads, the punishment of the city..' " Gen. 19:15. 

And it was written, when the "morning rose," that the angels made this 
command to Lot. This is symbolic of light and purity. The angel's 
command as "morning arose" is the symbol of light and truth within the 
mind, and they come to us, all, as we overcome lust. Tt was the light and 
purity, within Lot's mind, that commanded him to leave the city, and the 
city that he was leaving, was the city of the lust senses, which was to be 
destroyed by the flames of its own lust. Its self destruction was its self 
punishment. Lust is always self destruction. 

St. John tells us, in Revelation, "that they had a king over them,", and 
that "his name was Apollyon" that is, "destroyer." This king, whose 
name is Apollyon, that is, destroyer, is lust, and is self destruction. This 
is the vengeance of eternal fire, that burns within the lust desires of the 
mind. This is what Lot's wife did. It was not the looking back upon the 
physical cities of Sodom and Gomorrah that turned her to a pillar of salt, 
but it was the looking back, in mind and thought, to gratify her lust. 

Men and women are looking back, in mind and thought, into the 
Sodom and Gomorrah, within them, today. They are being destroyed by 
syphilis and gonorrhea, and the other diseases, that come out of lust. 

Men and women, in all ages, have looked back upon the Sodom and 
Gomorrah within them, and the fire of lust has destroyed them. 

We are told in Genesis 19:23, that, "The sun was risen upon the earth 
when Lot entered into Zoar." 

"Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and 
fire from the Lord out of heaven; and he overthrew those cities and all the 
plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the 
ground." Gen. 19:24-25. This is the symbol that all was destroyed 
that came of the senses and the flesh. The ground here, is the flesh-matter, 
not spirit and mind. 

—138— 



Sodom and Gomorrah, like Babylon, have a metaphysical meaning. 
Gomorrah means "submersion." And she was submerged in flames. She 
was not consumed by water but by fire, which is symbolic of the destruction 
of burning lust. 

In the Holy Scriptures, we are told that the material world is finally 
to be destroyed by fire, — that is, the flesh is to be consumed by lust. 

Sodom means "to burn." The destruction of the material city of 
Sodom, by fire, was symbolic of the destruction of the consuming flame of 
lust, within the mind. It is the city of the senses destroying itself, by the 
consuming flames of lust. 

Sodom and Gomorrah were in the valley, symbolic of the low state o " 
the senses, and the degraded state of the plain of lust. 

Zoar was in the hill country, symbolic of the fact, that it was a higher 
state of thought. 

Lot was told to flee to this city of Zoar. All of which was symbolic of 
going from the low state of the city of the senses, and lust, into a higher 
state of purity. "And the sun, was rising upon the earth when Lot entered 
into Zoar." This was symbolic, of *the fact, that the sun of purity, and 
the light of truth was rising within Lot's own consciousness, as Lot entered 
into this pure state of thought. 

Zoar means "little," or small city. 

The city of Purity, sitting on the hilltop of Truth, is small, and few 
there be, who leave the great cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, within their 
own thoughts, and travel the straight and narrow way to the small city of 
Purity, sitting on the hilltop of Truth. 

Our Lord said that the way is "straight and narrow" that leads to the 
City of Eternal Life, and few there be, that enter therein. 

Again he said, "Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father's pleasure to 
give you the kingdom." 

The flock of purity is little indeed, but they shall inherit the kingdom 
of Eternal Life. 

The city of Zoar, on the hilltop, into which Lot entered, is small, but 
the light of Truth is rising within the spiritual understanding of all, who 
enter there, as the sun rose upon the earth, (the Light of Truth arose upon 
the error of the lust of the flesh), when Lot entered Zoar (the city of Purity). 
But the flames of lust are burning in the senses of Sodom and Gomorrah, in 
the valley of lust below, and all who live in this state of mind are being 
consumed by their own lust. 

"Verily I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom 
and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city." Matt. 10:15. 

Here Our Lord was sending forth his apostles to preach the gospel, and 
he said that "it would be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the 
day of judgment" than for the cities that reject the gospel. 

—139— 



The people today, will not accept the Truth, as the Christ taught it, be- 
cause of the burning lust within their minds. 

Burning lust, within the minds of men and women has caused them 
to reject the gospel of truth, in all ages. Our Lord says it will be more 
tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah, in the day of judgment, than it will be 
for them. 

We are told in the nineteenth chapter of Genesis, that after Lot had 
fled out of Sodom and Gomorrah, that his two daughters made him drunk 
upon wine, and while he was drunk, and did not know what was being done, 
they cohabited with him, and bore children by him. From the sons of 
these two daughters came the Moabites, and the Ammonites. 

These Moabites and Ammonites had their pagan gods which represented 
the most degraded state of sex thought. Their gods were symbolic of the 
thoughts within their minds and these thoughts were the most degraded 
of the sex thought. 

These two daughters of Lot conceived in violation of the law of God, 
as laid down, in the eighteenth chapter of Leviticus, and the Mosaic Law. 

"And the firstborn said unto the younger, our father is old and there 
is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth; 
Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we 
may preserve seed of our father." Gen. 19:31-32. 

"Earth" here quoted, means "flesh." There was not a man in the 
flesh, to come in unto Lot's daughters, after the manner of the flesh, so they 
made their father drunk, and cohabited with him while he was drunk, and 
bore seed by him. This was the beginning of the Moabites and the Ammon- 
ites, the most degraded and degenerate people, who indulged in every 
state of sex degeneracy. 

"The Moabites shall be a perpetual desolation." Zeph. 2:9, 

Isaiah paints the desolation of the Moabites, in the fifteenth chapter. 

The Ammonites worshipped Moloch. They went into such sensuality 
and degradation of lust, that they burned their own children in the flames 
of Moloch, in an effort to appease their degraded state of consciousness. 

We are told in Genesis, nineteenth chapter, twenty-fifth verse, that 
God "overthrew those cities (Sodom and Gomorrah) and all the plain, and 
all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground." 

"Ground," here, is symbolic of the flesh. It is the flesh. That, which 
grew upon the ground, is that which grew out of the senses of the flesh. 
All through the Bible ground is used for flesh. It is used as a synonym 
for the flesh. 

We are told that God destroyed all the earth (flesh) by the flood. He 
did not destroy the globe or planets, but he destroyed all flesh, except 
Noah, his three sons, and their wives. 

—140— 



Again, we are told, in the Bible, that all the earth (flesh) became cor- 
rupt." The physical earth did not become corrupt, but the flesh of men 
and women became corrupt, through their lust. 

And again, we are told, that Cain shall become "a vagabond upon the 
face of the earth. Cain was not a physical man, wandering around upon 
the physical earth. Cain is the name for the mind of lust. This thought 
is a pauper. It has no compensation, for service, but death. It promises 
something in the way of pleasure, and gives pain and death, in return. 

Our Lord said that this mind of lust is a "liar, and the father of it," 
and a "murderer from the beginning." John 8:44. 

It is the earth — of the Bible — that is, the flesh, and is a lie and death. 
It is Satan. 

The brain and the sex organs are the dynamos that collect the nerve 
energy which runs the machinery of the human body. Every time the sex 
act is indulged these dynamos are weakened. Masturbation destroys them. 
Lust in all forms weakens and destroys the brain and sex power and brings 
on old age. Those who live for lust and the sex act, and spill the sex seed 
continuously, have bodies that look like dirt. Their bodies become the 
color of dirt and as dead as clay. Adam was told when he indulged sex- 
ually that he should return to dust, and this law is true. The spilling of 
the sex seed causes the body to become dead and as clay and finally sends it 
to the grave. The sex act stills the brain in death. The brain and body are 
weakened and deadened when the sex act is over. God said, "Jacob have I 
loved and Esau have I hated." Esau was the "Hairy man." Hair is symbolic 
of sensuality. At puberty the hair begins to grow on the sex organs and lust 
then comes into the mind. The "evil days" are then upon the youth, 
and the youth needs care and protection from self destruction. Jacob's name 
was changed to Israel, which means the Light of God (of good), or a 
soldier of God. Jacob, or Israel, is the mind of purity. Esau is the mind 
of lust. God loves purity but hates lust. Purity is Life and lust is death. 
Jacob, or Israel, is Life, but Esau is death. The Christian does not live in 
and of the Esau mind. He does not live in, and of, the senses. He does 
not live in the material body, but in and of the Spiritual body, and the 
Kingdom of Heaven is within him. Our Lord said, while here in the flesh, 
that the Son of Man was in Heaven. He did not live in and of his material 
body. He did not live in and of matter while here in the flesh, after he 
overcame lust. Hence, He said, "man liveth by the word of God." He lived 
within and of his spiritual body after he overcame and "healed them every- 
where." And he said, "his disciples should do greater works than he." The 
true Christian does not live in and of the material body and can heal the 
diseased. 

The Esau mind lives in and of the material body, which is the sensual 
and sex thought and diseases the race. This is heathenism and paganism. 

—141— 



CHAPTER IX. 

St. Paul refers to the lust of the flesh as being "of the earth and earthy." 
It is of matter, and not of mind. 

Adam was told, when he yielded to lust, that he "was taken from dust, 
and unto dust should he return/' This was the material man of flesh and 
blood, and he is the earth (flesh) or ground of the Bible. He is not the 
mind, and the man made in God's image. 

All that comes out of the senses and the love of the flesh, is "of the 
earth, and earthy." That is what was destroyed in Sodom and Gomorrah. 
It was the flaming lust of the senses burning up the flesh. These cities, 
were in the plain. They were down in the valley of the senses and the lust 
of the flesh. They were the degraded desires and thoughts of the lust of 
the flesh, and all who live within the cities of perverted sex desires and lust 
thoughts, inhabit the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, and shall be con- 
sumed and destroyed by the burning flames of their own lust. 

The cities of Sodom and Gomorrah are within the cells of the brain, 
and the senses of the sex organs, of every man and woman, who live in a 
perverted state of sex thought, and gratify degenerate lust, and they shall 
be consumed by their own flames and lust. 

The angel said to Lot, "escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither 
stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be con- 
sumed." Gen. 19:17. 

The plain, here, is the valley of the senses, and the low estate of lust 
thoughts, and the mountain, is the high vision of the soul, freed in thought 
and desire from the senses, and the desires of the lust of the flesh. 

The angel of God is saying to every man and woman today, and has in 
all ages, who are down in the plain and valley, of the senses and the lust of 
the flesh, "escape to the mountain" of purity, lest thou be consumed by 
the flames of thy own lust. 

The angel said unto Lot, "look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all 
the plain." And the angel of God is saying unto every man and woman, 
today, and has in all ages', "Look not behind thee" — that is, return not to 
the thoughts of the senses, and the love of the lust of the flesh, and stay 
thou not in the plain of the senses and the valley of the flesh, but escape 
thou to the mountains, yea, go on to Mt. Zion, lest thou be consumed in 
the flames of lust that burn within the cells of the brain, and the senses 
of the sex organs. 

—142— 



On Mt. Zion, the light of Truth burns until the eternal day of God's 
glory. Zion means "sunny" light. It was the highest point in Jerusalem. 
Jerusalem is the city of the soul. In this city the soul sees with the eternal 
eye of the mind, and on the top of Zion, the senses cannot come into con- 
sciousness, and the soul sees the spiritual universe, free from matter, and 
hears the harmony of the music of spiritual sense. There is no lust in this 
city, to consume the soul. It is spirits' eternal day of light, and there is no 
night there. 

The term "sheol" is used some seventy odd times, in the Bible for 
"hell," or the place of the lost departed spirits. The etymology of this 
word means, "the center of the earth." It expressed the Jews' idea of 
all that was dark, dismal, destructive, and of death. The Jew's concep- 
tion of hell was a place within the center of the earth, where it was dark, 
and filled with pain, sorrow, woe, and death. This was the place of their 
lost departed spirits, who had served the lust of the flesh, while here. We 
mean by Lost Spirits, the state of mind of the souls that have not overcome 
the lust of the flesh. 

Of course, "earth" here means flesh, and the center of the earth is the 
essence of the flesh, in thought. 

The fire and the night, of the center of the earth, which was the Jews' 
hell, begins to burn within every man and woman, at puberty, and the 
darkness of lust and carnality, comes into the mind, and closes the eye of 
the mind, to the light of Truth. It is then, that the generative organs 
begin to manufacture the sex fluid, which is poured into the nerve cells 
of the body and brain, which sets the whole body and brain on fire, with 
the consuming flames of the lust of the flesh. Then the mind becomes so 
carnal in thought, that it can see nothing holy and spiritual. It is blind 
to all that is spiritual and holy. It only sees through the senses, and loves 
the flesh. 

These burning flames of lust set the mind on fire for the gratification 
of the sex act, and in turn, the flesh is consumed by all manner of diseases. 

The unguarded youth begin to masturbate, at puberty, as a rule. Evil 
has charge of the mind then. Girls, at this age, learn to masturbate while 
walking. They become emaciated, pale in the face, white in the eye, and 
the parents do not know what is the trouble. On examination, the sex 
organs have not been disturbed. They have masturbated without instru- 
ments, but by manipulating the limbs, sex organs and body, while walking. 
Girls, by artificial means, will masturbate until they are wrecks. Rubber 
instruments sold for this purpose is a part of the merchandise of Babylon. 
As they walk the streets, they go bounding along, as it were, with the 
palms of their hands turned backwards, working their fingers, like a baby 
working his toes, while lying in the cradle. They twist the eyes looking 

—143— 



sidewise, on either side, as they go, with their faces pale and emaciated. 
The trouble is within the nerves of the brain. The cells of the brain have 
become inflamed, by self-abuse; and the bodies become weak, and the face 
pale, frort} the loss of blood, through self-abuse. At this age, boys faces 
will break out with pimples, all over the face. Girls do likewise. They 
become shy, and ashamed. This is a result of self-abuse. The whole 
system of the body, and the strength of mind is destroyed by this un- 
natural lust. Self-abuse is the sin that curses the race. 

Men and women, who use their mouths, for sex purposes, show it in 
their faces, and their voices have a peculiar tone, which marks this sin. 

Men and women, who over-indulge, sexually, become pale of face, 
emaciated, physically, and weak of mind. These are the marks of Cain, and 
they are the marks of death. 

Those, who have lived in these states of thought, and these conditions 
of the lust of the flesh, go out into the other life, in the same state of mind 
in which they lived here, unless they overcome; and these states of thought, 
for the love of the lust of the flesh, are the flaming fires of hell, that burneth 
within the mind and consciousness. 

This state of thought, while here in the flesh, produces the sorrows, 
suffering, woes, and death of the flesh. These woes, sufferings, sorrows, 
and pains, are insanity, syphilis, leprosy, and gonorrhea, and all their by- 
products. Smallpox is a by-product of the syphilitic germ. Syphilis is 
the big pox, and its by-product is the germ, which we call smallpox. 
Syphilitic neuritis, syphilitic meningitis, syphilitic softening of the brain, 
syphilitic rheumatism, syphilitic bright's disease, syphilitic hardening of 
the liver, cancer, gonorrhea, bright's disease, gonorrheal heart trouble, 
gonorrheal liver trouble, gonorrheal rheumatism, deafness, blindness, 
falling of the womb, from over-sex indulgence, paralysis, loco-motor ataxia, 
and every other constitutional disease, (barring accidents, and diseases 
that come from accidents and exposure), and they are not constitutional, 
nor inherited, but, all constitutional and inherited diseases, are the pro- 
ducts and the by-products of the consuming flames of lust. 

When lust is overcome in heaven, "God shall wipe away all tears" and 
there will be no "suffering, sorrow, nor death" there. 

But those who have not overcome lust, will be "in the center of the 
earth," in thought. They will be in the essence of the flesh, in mind 
thought, and desire. The flames of the lust of the flesh, will burn them 
in their minds and thoughts. They will still be in that state of thought 
which produces syphilis, gonorrhea, and the diseases and sorrows of the 
race. It is outer darkness. It is the hell of the Hebrews. It is the 
Christian hell. It is the hell of the Bible. 

In this state of mind the ray of light of God's truth does not illuminate 

—144— 



the mind. In this state of mind, there is no understanding of the purity 
and holiness of God. In this state of mind, all is darkness and night, and 
we are told that "there is no night" in the eternal city of the New Jerusalem. 

Those, who are in that state of mind that love the flesh, cannot enter 
there in mind and thought. 

Our divine Lord said, that "the devil was a liar and the father of it." 

St. John tells us in Revelation, that "the devil is that old serpent, the 
dragon," and Eve said that it was the serpent that deceived her. 

Every man and woman, who have ever indulged sexually, when the sex 
act was over, knows he "is a liar, and the father of it." 

Our Lord said "he was a murderer from the beginning." 

Go ask the fallen woman, as she sits by her window, with her mind and 
body destroyed, and diseased, through lust, and her soul in hell, in mind 
and thought, and her depraved face will tell you, that he is "a murderer 
from the beginning," and "a liar, and the father of it." 

A medical doctor friend said to me, "Nobody ever knows what becomes 
of the body of a dead dog and a woman, who is a public prostitute." 

This expresses the idea that the serpent "was a murderer from the be- 
ginning." Every woman, who is selling her body to gratify the lust of men, 
will see the day when she will realize the awful truth of this statement. 
With her soul and mind, burning in the flames of lust, and her brain and 
body diseased, she goes to the grave, with a rotten and diseased body, and 
no one to care for her. Her body becomes as the body of the dead dog of 
the street. The men, who have gratified their lust upon her body, forsake 
her and look upon her with scorn and contempt. 

There are two classes of "pimps." A pimp is a man who is the sweet- 
heart of a public prostitute, and is supported by her. She sells her body 
to gratify the lust of other men, that she may have money to support this 
snake who is called her lover. This is the pimp of the underworld. There 
is the pimp of the upperworld. He is a man, who marries a woman for her 
wealth, and gratifies her sex desires, that he may live in ease and without 
labor upon her money. He exchanges her sex gratification for a livelihood. 
This is the merchandise of Babylon. There are. pimps of the courts and 
royal families. The royal families marry and inter-marry to hold their 
thrones intact in violation of God's law. The king marries a princess of 
his own blood" to preserve his throne. The queen marries a prince of her 
own blood to preserve her throne. In violation of natural laws and the 
laws of Moses and of God, they marry, and degenerates are brought into 
the world, as a result. They violate the Mosaicjaw, and their hild n 
are idiots, imbeciles, and diseased, as the result. 

We know, personally, of a man and woman, who married, that were 
first cousins. They had three children, and all three of them were deaf 

—145— 



and dumb. They had violated the Mosaic law, and the offspring paid the 
penalty for the sins of their parents. 

The royal families of the world, are diseased, mentally, and physically, 
as the result of blood relatives marrying in violation of the Mosaic law. 
It is of the snake, and the merchandise of Babylon, and imbeciles, idiots 
degenerates, the deaf and dumb, and diseased, are born as the result. 

This snake thought manifests itself in a myriad of ways. While I 
write, there is a woman, who is an actress, playing at a theatre in Kansas 
City. She has a snake for her pet. She gives this snake a milk bath, and 
places perfume upon its head, daily. She and the snake are daily com- 
panions. They are in the same state of thought. The snake symbolizes 
her own state of consciousness and thought. The perfumes, that she 
places upon the snake's head to charm him and to keep him from biting her, 
is the same perfumery that she and other women place upon their person, 
to arouse the lust and passion of men. The perfume that she places upon 
the snake's head charms him, just as the perfume that a woman places 
upon her body, arouses the lust within a man, and charms and holds 1iim 
in her power. It is the snake within the thought of men and women that 
make them go to the playhouse to see this woman and her snake. The 
snake is creeping within the cells of their brains and generative organs. 
Lust is within their minds; hence they flock to see her and her snake. 

Scientists tell us, that the snake has no ears, with which to hear, but 
that he hears through the senses of his belly and from the ground. 'The 
snake is "of the earth, and earthy." He is the symbol, in thought, of the 
mind of the senses, and the lust of the flesh. 

The snake hears through the senses of his belly, and so do the carnal 
minded, in thought. The snake hears through the sensation of the ground, 
and the carnal minded hear through the senses of the flesh. The lustful 
man and woman hear only through the senses of the sex organs, and the 
brain. These are they that Our Lord said "have ears but they hear not." 
Their minds and spiritual ears are closed to the spiritual sense of being. 

"And the Lord God said," unto the serpent, "Because thou hast done 
this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; 
and upon thy belly shait thou go and dust shalt thou eat all the days of 
thy life." Gen. 3:14. 

The serpent has crawled upon his belly, all the days, and will until the 
end of time. His crawling upon his belly, and hearing through the senses 
of his belly from the ground, is the symbol of his low state. It is the 
symbol of the state of his mind, and his mind is the mind of lust. He is 
the symbol, in nature, of the ideas of lust, that creep and crawl, within the 
cells of the brain, of every man and woman, and causes them to indulge 
sexually, and propagate in the flesh. The serpent eats the dust. The earth 

—146— 



is his food. This is the symbol, in thought, of lust eating the flesh. The 
flesh becomes the food of the syphilitic germ, and the syphilitic germ, in 
nature, is the symbol of the serpent's mind — that is, the thought of lust, 
and it eats and rots the flesh. The serpent has no brain except the sensual 
brain. His brain is very small, and it is the cunningness of the senses. It 
only thinks deception, hatred, and poison, and the serpent, in thought, 
manufactures the poison within his fangs. 

Since I have been writing this book, I saw a girl some eighteen or twenty 
years of age, bounding along upon the streets of Kansas City, with a hat 
upon her head, that had four serpents painted upon it. One was on each 
side, one in front, and one in the back, and every way she turned, the 
serpent was looking at you, with the cunningness of his eye. 

The real serpent was in the thought of her mind. The four serpents 
upon her hat expressed the thoughts within her consciousness, that were 
being telegraphed from her sex organs to her brain. 

Women wear jewelery with serpents carved upon it. They wear 
serpent bracelets of gold; serpent rings; serpent necklaces; and have the 
serpent carved upon much of their jewelry. 

While I write, there is a jewelry store in Kansas City, displaying in 
its window, a golden serpent necklace, with emerald eyes, for sale to the 
women for adornment. 

A young woman in California reaps a handsome reward from the sale 
of snake skins, which she hunts, tans, and sells to the eastern jewelry stores, 
to be made into expensive belts for the adornment of women. This adorn- 
ment, of their persons, with snakes, represents the state of thought of the 
women, who wear them. This snake jewelry, which they wear upon their 
persons, is symbolic of the lust thoughts that their sex organs are tele- 
graphing to their brains, and the cells of the brain are telegraphing in turn 
lust thoughts to their sex organs. This is of the merchandise of Babylon. 

If these women could be awakened to their true state of consciousness, 
so as to see themselves as they are, they would throw these snake jewels 
to the ground, as they would a rattlesnake, out of their laps. "But they 
have ears and hear not," as the Bible says. They only hear through the 
senses of their bellies, and their ovaries, as does the snake crawling upon 
the ground. And as the dust becomes the meat for the serpent, so does 
their flesh become the meat for lust, and syphilis and private diseases eat 
away their flesh, bones, and brain, until they rot away. 

In this age, as in all ages, the idle rich women, as a class, are syphilitic. 
There are three classes of prostitutes, viz., the prostitute of the under- 
world, who sells her body for so much, per night, for the gratification of the 
lust of men; the prostitute of the upper-world, who sells her body for life, 
to the man with money, under marriage contract, for a livelihood; and there 

—147— 



is the prostitute, who, loves the lust of the flesh, for lust's sake, who under 
the cover of the marriage contract, indulges in the lust of the flesh, until 
she destroys her body and brain, and sinks her soul into the depths of the 
night of spiritual death. 

Our Lord said, as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, "so 
must the Son of man be lifted up." Moses lifted up the symbol of a dead 
serpent, in the wilderness. The Jews were in the wilderness of the senses, 
and were diseased, and their flesh was rottening upon their bones, as the 
result of lust. All, who looked upon the symbol of the dead sepent, were 
healed. The serpent must die within our minds and thoughts, if we would 
be healed of sin and disease. 

Our Lord said, "If I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men 
unto me." 

"The earth," is the flesh, and the love of the flesh. It is the material 
body. The love of the flesh is within the senses of the generative organs, 
and the seven lobes of the brain. 

Our divine Lord overcame the love of the flesh, while here in the flesh. 
On the cross, he died unto the earth — that is, to the love of the earth, 
(flesh), but he overcame the love of the flesh, while in the flesh and he had 
power to come forth from the grave, and to ascend out of the materia 1 body, 
into heaven, which is the state of the spiritual sense of being, and is draw- 
ing all men unto him through the mind of Truth. 

As we yield to the Spirit of Truth, in thought and mind, we are being 
resurrected from the earth, lust and death, and are ascending into heaven, 
and unto life eternal. 

As men, or women, become old, and their sex forces begin to fail them, 
and the sex organs fail to manufacture the sex fluid to feed the nerves of the 
brain and the body, the face, hands, and ears, and the entire body, begins 
to look hard, and like dead dirt. 

When the sex organs and sex senses decline to manufacture the sex 
fluid, the body and brain returns to dust. We see old men and women 
around us daily, whose bodies are almost as dead, as the dead earth. Those, 
who have dissipated in youth and wasted their sex forces by spilling the sex 
seed, soon become old, and their bodies as dead dirt. There is no life within 
the body, when the sex organs and sex senses cease to manufacture the sex 
fluid. The body then becomes dead, and returns to dust. He, who 
retains the sex fluid, and lives a pure life, will live to a good old age, with a 
live body and a live brain. He, who dissipates the sex fluid, and spills 
the sex seed, will soon become old, with a dead body and a dead brain, dry 
and dead, like the dust, to which it will soon return. This material body, 
fed by the sex fluids, is the "earth," that man was told he should subdue 
and have dominion over. It is the "earth," from which the saints are 

—148— 



redeemed, in Revelation, for "they are virgins, and have not been denied, 
by women." They have overcome the mind, that loves the flesh, and this 
is redemption, and this is salvation. Salvation means "free from danger." 
When we shall overcome the mind of lust, we will be free from the death 
of the serpent. 

When we shall become so pure in mind, that we shall have no desire to 
gratify the love of the flesh, through the sex act, we shall be free from self 
destruction. 

The serpent causes men and women to destroy themselves, through the 
spilling of the sex seed. 

Lust diseases men and women, and sends them to the grave. 

When we shall overcome every desire of lust, we shall be free from the 
danger of suffering, sorrow, pain, and death. 

When we shall become pure, in thought and mind, as the Master was 
pure, there will be no more disease, suffering, sorrow, and death for us, 
for "God shall have wiped away all tears from our eyes." 

"Redemption" means to think again. In this holy state, we shall think 
again. Our ideas and thoughts will not be of the earth, and the lust of the 
flesh, but they shall emanate from God, and we shall think the thoughts of 
the holy angels. 

But, "if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and 
lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but 
is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is con- 
fusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first 
pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy 
and good fruits, without partiality, and without hyprocrisy. And the 
fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace." James 
3:14, 18. 

Here St. James gives us the Law of Truth, and the Law of Error, the 
Law of Life and the Law of Death, the Law of Purity and the Law of Lust. 
Envy and strife are of the thoughts of the flesh, and they lie against the 
Truth, which is Spirit. Envy, hatred, greed, and lust, descendeth "not 
from above" — that is not from Truth and Spirit, but they are "earthly," 
"sensual" and " devilish "-—that is, they come from the senses, which is 
sex and the love of the flesh. That which is earthly, is sensual and devilish 
— that is, it is located in the senses of the sex and sensual mind. This 
mind is "strife, confusion, and evil." "But the wisdom that is from above, 
is first pure" — that is, it is Truth and Spirit. This wisdom is from heaven, 
(Mind and Spirit), and heaven is all around us, and within us, as we over- 
come the senses, in thought and desire. 

This understanding of Truth, leads to peace, gentleness, and mercy, 
charity, and good fruits. "By their fruits ye shall know them." Th( 

—149— 



fruition of Truth is righteousness, and it is peace to the soul. The fruition 
of lust is hypocrisy. All hypocrisy is within the sensual and the sex mind. 
The senses are liars, and there is no truth in them. The sensual mind of a 
man, when he is sensually hypnotized by a woman, tells her that he loves 
her, but this is a lie. He loves himself, and he only cares for her, for what 
lust gratification he can get out of her. When he has gratified his lust, he 
is through with her, until he needs her again for the same purpose. 

When a man polarizes a woman, sexually, she thinks he loves her, but 
when she has given up her virtue to him, she realizes that lust has written 
the image of the beast upon her soul, and that the serpent has deceived her, 
just as he did Eve, and she despises him then. 

A woman, when she is sexually hypnotized with a man, thinks she loves 
him, but this is a lie. If she cannot have him sexually, and sees that 
another woman is taking him from her, she will kill him, and the woman 
too. 

The man, who is polarized by a woman, sexually, thinks he loves her. 
But this is a lie. He loves his own lust, and if he cannot have her to gratify 
his lust, he will kill her. There is no Truth in the senses for they are liars, 
and murderers. 

Adam, when he was sexually polarized by Eve, said "this is bone of 
my bone, and flesh of my flesh.' ' The devil in eyery man has said this, 
when he is polarized, sexually, by a woman. 

The serpent told Eve that she should not die, but this was a lie. She 
died, as a result of yielding to lust, and when the sex act was over, she said 
the serpent had deceived her. 

And Adam said, "the woman that thou gavest to be with me, she gave 
me of the tree, and I did eat." Then they covered their nakedness, to 
hide their shame, within their own minds and thoughts, for they were then 
conscious of the image of the beast, which was lust within their minds. 
Every man and woman, who polarize each other sexually, and gratify their 
lust, have had the same experience that Adam and Eve had. 

"And the Lord God turned Adam and Eve out into the earth," — that 
is, into the love of the senses of the flesh, and told Adam that "he should 
live by the sweat of his face," and the Lord God cursed the ground, and 
said, "it should bring forth thorns and thistles." 

The ground here is symbolic of the flesh. They were then ashamed, 
and sought to cover up their nakedness. From that day until now, man 
has attempted to get a livelihood without honest labor. This is the dis- 
honesty of the senses. The serpent within man and woman causes them to 
lie, cheat, and swindle, for a livelihood, rather than to produce a livelihood 
by honest labor. From that day until now, men and women have sought 
clothing to hide their nakedness, and jewelry and fine linens, to bedeck and 
adorn the serpent within them, without producing them. 

—150— 



They have sought these pleasures of the senses to feed the vanity of the 
serpent, without giving value received for them. This is of the dishonesty 
of the senses, and the lie of the serpent. It is the merchandise of Babylon. 

The word " serpent' ' in the original, that deceived Eve, means "Baby- 
lon." It has the same root meaning as the Hebrew Babel, and the Greek 
Baylon, which means the "master of the tongue" and thought, and the 
"confusion" of the senses. It is the confusion of the senses, talking to the 
consciousness and mind. The sex act is the essence of this confusion. 

All civilization, and merchandise of Babylon are based on this con- 
fusion of the senses and the sex act. The confusion of the senses grew, 
matured, rotted and decayed, in the Orient. 

The physical city of Babylon was the city of the senses and of lust, and 
her people became diseased, degenerate, and her civilization perished. 
They had serpents within their temples of sex worship, as the symbol of 
their state of thought. With them, the sex act was god. The women 
wore snakes on their jewelry and person, as the emblem of their state of 
thought. Men committed Sodomy upon men. Women were dog lovers 
there. This snake, dog loving, and Sodomic thought prevailed in their art, 
literature and music. It governed their state of consciousness and thought, 
and as the result, they became a diseased and degenerate people. And the 
plagues of syphilis, gonorrhea, leprosy, insanity, feeble-mindedness, and 
every form of degeneracy destroyed the peoples of the Orient. 

But this snake loving, and dog loving, and Sodomic thought, in civiliza- 
tion, moved on to Greece and Rome. It prevailed in all their music, liter- 
ature, and art. This state of degeneracy prevailed in the very life and 
thought of the civilized world, when Our Lord came. 

When the Catholic church became the controlling influence of the 
Roman Empire, and the civilized world, it blew out the light of this snake 
loving, dog loving, and Sodomic civilization, and what is called the night 
of the Dark Ages, came upon the world. 

During the "Golden Age" of the church, she blew out the l'ght of the 
belle lettres, and of the art and literature of this snake loving, dog loving 
and Sodomic civilization. 

But the mistake the church made was, that she took all the sacred 
learning, sacred art, and sacred literature, into the bosom of the priesthood of 
the church. The church kept the torchlight of sacred art, and literature, 
burning, but the light was confined to the knowledge of the priesthood. 
If she had taught this knowledge to the masses, history would have read 
differently. But out of this night of the Dark Ages, the torchlight of 
sensuality came forth again. The snake loving, dog loving, and Sodomic 
civilization, of Babylon and the Orient, traveled on to Greece and Rome, 
^ept there, through the Dark Ages, only to be awakened by the demon of 
lust, and is with us today. 

—151— 



It diseased and destroyed the peoples of the Orient. It diseased and 
destroyed the peoples of Greece and Rome. At times it almost depopulated 
these centers of civilization. The great plagues, as the result of lust, ate 
away their brains, their flesh, and their bones. Every hillside and valley, 
every town and city, and every roadside, were filled with dead bodies, 
dieased with syphilis, leprosy, and gonorrhea. These plagues, as the 
result of lust, would sweep down millions annually, and all Asia and Europe 
became a dominion, where the epidemic of syphilis prevailed. These are 
the plagues of the Bible, and they had their origin when the serpent deceived 
Eve. The "serpent is a liar, and the father of it, and a murderer from the 
beginning." John 8:44. 

Then when lust has conceived it bringeth forth sin; and sin, when it 
is finished, bringeth forth death." James 1:15. 

The race is dying today, with the plagues of the Bible, as of old. People 
are all around us with their brains diseased, as the result of lust, and drag- 
ging their crippled legs, and lame arms, blind, deaf, and deformed, insane 
and crazy. Lust is mowing them down today, as of old. 

We are told, in Genesis, that the Lord struck Onan dead for spilling 
the sex "seed on the ground." 

God is striking men and women dead today, as of old, for spilling the 
sex seed on the ground. God has struck men and women dead in all ages, 
for spilling the sex seed. It is the violation of God's law to spill the sex 
seed, and the violation of God's law is death. 

The male semen, that is, the spermatozoon is the facsimile of a tadpole, 
under the microscope. Under the microscope its motion is that of a 
serpent. It is symbolic of the thought of lust. This male germ of life, 
with the female germ of life, produces conception, and brings forth the mater- 
ial man or woman. It takes the male and female seed to produce a child. 
There is a male and female germ in all material life. The gonorrhea germ 
is male and female. So is syphilis and leprosy. This is true of all germ 
life, which eats away the flesh and destroys the body. This is symbolic of 
the thought of lust. 

Everything, in matter, is male and female, positive and negative, and 
all material creation is at strife and war, and must finally destroy itself. 

The convolutions of the brain are interlaid and covered with white phos- 
phorous substance. This is the gray matter of the brain. Within these 
cells are located the carnal imaginations of the brain. Sex indulgence 
destroys this phosphorous substance, and the cells of the brain, and brings 
on softening of the brain. 

Whiskey, morphine, and cocaine, burns out the cells of the brain and 
destroys them. They stimulate the sex passion and by this means cause 
over sex indulgence, which destroys them. 

—152— 



While these convolutions of the brain are maturing the man and woman 
should never indulge sexually. The semen, generated in the sex organs, 
feeds the brain, and if it is wasted, through sex indulgence, the brain is 
impoverished and does not develop to its full capacity. 

The man, as a rule, should never indulge, sexually* u^il he is thirty 
years of age, and the female, not until she is twenty-five years of age. In 
hot climates this rule varies, to some extent, as they mature earlier, sexually, 
but in the average climate, this is the rule. 

While the convolutions of the brain are developing, self-abuse impairs 
their growth and brings on feeble-mindedness, and insanity. 

The spilling of the seed while the convolutions of the brain are devel- 
oping always impairs the brain, and frequently brings on sexual impotency 
— that is, sexual weakness. 

There was a tribe of American Indians, who taught their young men, 
that they intended to make priests out of, self abuse, while they were boys, 
just coming into puberty, in order to destroy their sex powers, and make 
then impotent. The youth, thus destroyed sexually, through self-abuse, 
would have no sex power, when he grew to manhood. This was their con- 
ception of purity. The priest, who thus had his sex powers destroyed, 
when a boy, when he became a man could not indulge sexually with their 
women. This was their conception of the preparation for the priesthood. 

Early sex indulgence brings on premature old age. The continued indul- 
gence, through life, after maturity, weakens the brain, and brings on ma- 
terial death The spilling of the sex seed destroys the brain, and is death. 

It takes the red corpuscles out of the blood and produces weakness 
within the eye, and a pale and emaciated face. This is one of the signs of 
over-sex indulgence and of masturbation. 

Morphine, cocaine, alcoholic stimulants, likewise burn out the cells of 
the brain, and produce a dead glare of the eye, and an emaciation of the 
face and body. When these drugs destroy the brain, they likewise destroy 
the sex organs. The sex organs die, as the cells of the brain die, Self- 
abuse, which destroys the nerve cells of the brain, likewise destroys the 
sex organs. 

We have, personally, visited museums and seen cases, where the brain 
had been destroyed from self-abuse, and also, from taking morphine and 
cocaine. In each, and every case, the sex organs had been destroyed with 
the brain. 

Fathers, who have sons, whom they suspect are guilty of self-abuse or 
of taking morphine, or cocaine, would do well to take their sons, and let 
them visit museums, and see actual cases, where the brain and sex organs 
have been destroyed from self-abuse, cocaine, morphine, and liquor. 

Mothers, who have daughters, that they suspect are guilty of practic- 

—153— 



ing self-abuse, or using cocaine, or morphine, should take their daughters 
for a visit to an insane asylum. There they will see young girls and women, 
who are insane, as the result of self-abuse, and the use of morphine and 
cocaine. 

These pitiful cases will create such an impression on the mind of the 
young, that it will help them to overcome these unnatural habits, which are 
destroying their brains and sex organs. 

There are three main nerve centers, viz., the brain, the stomach, and 
the sex organs. That which destroys one, destroys the other two. 

The continual drinking of alcoholic liquors will finally burn out the 
nerve centers of the brain, stomach, sex organs, and the patient dies. 

Morphine and cocaine, if continued in use, will destroy all three of these 
nerve centers, and the party dies as the result. 

Self-abuse will destroy all three of these nerve centers, and death fol- 
lows, as the result. 

The stomach becomes weak, as the brain becomes weak, and so do the 
sex organs. 

Over sex indulgence will destroy all three of these nerve centers, and 
death follows, as the result. 

When the nerve centers of the stomach become worn out from any of 
these abuses, the patient cannot digest, and assimilate the food, sufficiently, 
to sustain life, and death soon follows, as the result. 

Men and women, who over indulge sexually, become weak at the 
stomach, and frequently sick at the stomach, and frequently do not care 
for food, and if they eat the food, do not assimilate it. This is the reason 
that newly married couples, who over-indulge sexually, frequently, be- 
come sick at the stomach at the breakfast table, when they see each other. 
We, personally, have seen newly married couples leave the breakfast table 
sick, and vomit up their breakfast, as the result of having over-indulged 
sexually. 

Lust is the primal cause of all these unnatural conditions. Without 
lust, there would be no desire for alcoholic liquors, morphine, and cocaine. 
Nearly all public prostitutes finally become drunkards, morphine or cocaine 
fiends. 

Alcoholic liquors, cocaine and morphine, stimulate the sex senses and 
create a desire for unnatural and abnormal lust. 

If the race were to become pure, in mind, and free from lust, in thought, 
there would be no more demand for alcoholic liquors, morphine, and 
cocaine. 

Noah had to become drunk upon wine, before his son, Ham, had sex- 
ual intercourse with him. Lot's daughters, had to take him into the cave 
and make him so drunk that he would be unconscious of what was being 

—154— 



done to him, before his daughters had sexual intercourse with him, and 
bore children by him. Lot was so drunk on wine, when they cohabited 
with him that he was unconscious that his daughters were having sexual 
relations with him. This incident is recorded in the nineteenth chapter of 
Genesis. 

Noah was so drunk, on wine, that he was unconscious that his son, 
Ham, was committing Sodomy upon him. "But when he awoke he knew 
what had been done unto him," and the curse of this sin was placed upon 
Ham, and his descendants, and this curse is lust. The negro race is the 
descendants of Ham and the negro is the most lustful of all the races. 
Black is the emblem of that color and quality of mind that is lustful in 
thought, and white is that quality of mind that is pure and free from lust 
in thought. 

Well might St. Peter say, "wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, 
be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you 
at the revelation of Jesus Christ." First Peter 1:13. 

The strength of the loins, is the strength of the sex organs, and those 
who are strong sexually, retain the sex seed. We have known, of boys, 
who learned to practice self-abuse, early in life, who become so weak sex- 
ually that they could not retain the sex seed. They died. 

We know of a case where the boy slept with a Baptist minister, and 
this so-called minister of the gospel, instead of teaching this boy purity, 
and how to preserve his mind and body, taught him self-abuse. The boy 
became so weak sexually that he could not retain the sex seed, and died. 

St. Peter says "to gird up the loins of your mind," that is, make the 
loins of your mind strong and pure, and by so doing, we become sober in 
thought, and retain the sex seed. 

All intoxicant state of thought is originally within the sex lust thought. 
All insobriety is within the sex lust thought. The sex act, itself, is the 
essence of intoxication, and insobriety. 

All the race is drunk on lust, and has been since time immemorial, and 
since the serpent entered into thought and consciousness. 

Intoxicant liquors, morphine, cocaine, and drugs, only stimulate the 
drunkenness of lust. They are of the merchandise of Babylon, and when 
Babylon is overcome, their commercial value will be no more. 

"Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the 
end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus 
Christ; as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the 
forms of lust in your ignorance; but as he which has called you is holy, so 
be ye holy in all manner of conversation; because it is written, Be ye holy; 
for I am holy. First Peter 13:13, 16. 

Men are fashioning themselves according to their lust in ignorance 

—155— 



today. Men and women, through ignorance, have been destroyed by lust, 
in all ages. Through ignorance, lust has destroyed them by the softening 
of the brain, heart-failure, Bright's disease* syphilis, gonorrhea, and leprosy, 
and every form of disease known to the human flesh. The race has ignor- 
antly destroyed itself, through lust. Their tongues speak what is in their 
minds. They think lust, live for lust, paint lust in their Art. Write lust 
in their muic, poetry and literature. As the race overcomes lust it thinks 
purity, talks purity and paints purity in its art and writes purity in its music, 
purity in literature. Hence St. Peter says, "So be ye holy in all manner 
of conversation." 

St. Peter writing to the Christians, says to them, "As obedient children, 
not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts, in your ignorance.'' 
They were Christians. They were supposed to know that lust was death. 
They were supposed to know that they must abstain from lust, and ob- 
tain life. 

The pagan and the sex worshipper is ignorant that lust is death. "He 
has eyes, but he sees not, and ears, but he hears not." The pagans are 
those who are in bondage to the lust of the flesh, and the more pleasure they 
realize, out of the senses, during the sex act, the more intensely they love 
the lust of the flesh. The more intense the feeling of the senses during the 
sex act, the greater is the death — the greater is the shock to the brain, and 
the nervous system. 

The intensity of the senses during the sex act is greater death, but the 
pagan is ignorant of this law of death. He loves the lie of the serpent, and 
dies, and he is willing to die for this lie of the serpent. He is willing to 
have the nerve cells of his brain destroyed, and drag his feet, and carry a 
limber arm, and die of insanity, for one moment's pleasure of the senses. 
The lie of the serpent destroys him, and he is willing to believe this lie, 
and die, as the result. He is ignorant of the law of death. 

St. Peter says that Christians should not be ignorant of this law of 
death, and should abstain from it. For he that has called the Christian, 
out of this night of death, is holy — that is, free from lust. "Be ye holy, as 
I am holy." Our divine Lord was holy. He was divinely conceived. His 
conception was free from the lust of the flesh, and he lived in the flesh from 
puberty to sex maturity, free of lust, and at thirty years of age, when in the 
maturity of his sex forces, he overcame the lust of the flesh, which is death, 
and became the Christ, which is the Life. He is saying to all people today, 
as he has said to every man and woman, since the fall, overcome the lust of 
the flesh, and death, and "be holy, as I am holy." 

St. John tells us, in Revelation, that Jesus, the Christ, appeared to him, 
in the vision, girded about, with a golden girdle. Gold is here the emblem 
of purity; — that is, the mind that had overcome the lust of the flesh. The 

—156— 



golden girdle, about the loins, of Our Divine Lord, was symbolic of that 
purity of mind, which had overcome the lust of the flesh. 

Well might St. Paul say, "Stand therefore having your loins girt about 
with the truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness." Ephe- 
sians 6:14. 

Truth is the Divine Mind. It is the mind of purity, and this mind has 
overcome the lust of the flesh. All, who have this mind, are girded about 
the loins, with a golden girdle, and retain the sex seed. There is no guile 
within their thought, for they have overcome the deception of the senses, 
and know God, as the Infinite Mind, Life and Truth. This is the Gospel. 

The breastplate of righteousness is the idea of purity, flowing into the 
consciousness of the mind, as life eternal. 

The Apostles preached this divine doctrine of overcoming the lust of 
the flesh, as the Gospel. They not only preached it, but they lived it. 

"The Apostles abstained from marriage; or if married before their 
calling, lived with their wives, as brother with sister, in order the more 
fully to devote themselves to the cause of Christ." Brennan's Church 
History, page 239. 

All authoritative church histories agree that the Apostles, who were 
not married, when the Lord called them to be Apostles, never married, and 
that the Apostles who were married, when the Lord called them to be 
Apostles, never indulged sexually with their wives anymore. They ab- 
stained from sexual intercourse with their wives, and did not beget children, 
after they had been called to be Apostles. This is common knowledge of 
sacred history and sacred tradition. Their Master, the Christ, had over- 
come lust and death, and they could not be his Apostles and teachers, 
unless they lived the life that he lived. 

An Apostle is one who has the mind of the Master that sends him, for 
he is the Messenger of his Master, and he must know his Master's mind, 
in order to bear his Master's message and thought. 

The Apostles could not indulge sexually and spill the sex seed and be 
Apostles — that is, Messengers of the Christ. Neither can men of today. 

Women today feed those who call themselves apostles of the Christ on 
fried chicken, cake, and pie, but the women of sensual minded Rome and 
Greece joined in with emperors and kings to have the true Apostles of the 
Christ, crucified, because they preached the Doctrine of the Christ, that 
the lust of the flesh must be overcome before the kingdom of heaven could 
be reached. 

The women of today, perfume their daughters with ointments and 
odors, and dress them in the fine linens of Babylon, that they may marry 
them to those, who call themselves the apostles of the Christ. 

But the women of the courts of Greece and Rome, joined in with the 

—157— 



authorities of the royal courts in having the true Apostles of the Christ 
crucified, because they preached the true Doctrine of their Master, and 
as their Master taught it, that "the children of this world marry and are 
given to marriage; but they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that 
world and the resurrection from the dead neither marry nor are given in 
marriage.' , Luke 20:34, 35. 

For preaching the above doctrine, that the lust of the flesh, and the 
spilling of the sex seed, must be overcome before the soul can be purified, 
and enter the presence of God, the Apostles were crucified. 

The early Christians taught and lived this doctrine of Christian faith, 
and for so doing, were burned at the stake. 

The same state of mind that made Nero burn the Christians, in Rome, 
caused him to fiddle while all Rome burned. He was so deep in the thought 
of sensuality and lust, that he was so cruel, in thought, that he fiddled music, 
to the shrieks, and pain, and torture, of the people of Rome while they were 
consumed in the flames of the burning city. 

This same state of lust thought made him burn the early Christians for 
teaching the Christian Doctrine that lust and the spilling of the'sex seed, 
must be overcome, before the soul can be purified and know God. A man 
who is not pure enough in mind and thought to live without sexual inter- 
course can not teach the mind of the Christ and be a minister of the Gospel. 

"For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, 
heard of him, and came and fell at his feet;" the woman was a Greek. 
(The original reads, "a Gentile.") Syrophenician, by nation, and she be- 
sought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter. But Jesus 
said unto her, "let the children first be filled; for it is not meet to take the 
children's bread and cast it upon dogs." And she answered and said unto 
him: Yes Lord; Yet the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs. 
And he said unto her, For this saying, Go thy way; the devil has gone out 
of thy daughter." Mark 7:25to 29. 

"The children's bread" is purity. Our Lord said, "Unless you become 
a little child, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven." 

Again he said, "Suffer little children to come unto me, for of such is the 
kingdom of heaven." 

A little child has no sex consciousness, and it has no sex and lust desires. 
It has no desire in the brain for the sex act, and there is no desire for the 
lust of the sex act, in heaven, and none reach heaven, until they reach that 
state of mind, wherein they have no thought of and desire for the sex act. 
They must fulfill the First Commandment and have "no other gods before 
them in thought, except the True God of Spirit before they reach heaven. 

When the sex organs of a child come into puberty, and manufacture 
the sex fluid, and pour it into the body and the cells of the brain, the child 

—158— 



then begins to think evil, and has lust desires, and is not of the kingdom of 
heaven. 

The "evil days," of which Solomon speaks, have come upon it, and it 
needs the protection and care of wise parents to guide the child through 
these evil days, into maturity. 

This is what Solomon meant, when he said, "Bring up a child in the 
way it should go, and when it is old it will not depart from it.' 

If the child is kept from fornication and adultery, and masturbation, 
when it comes into sex consciousness and puberty, (when these evil days 
come upon it) and is kept clean, in mind and thought, and protected by 
wise parents up to maturity, it is not likely to become a fornicator, nor 
adulterer, nor a dog lover, nor a masturbator, after maturity. 

The daughter of this woman, who came to our Lord, was in a bad state 
of consciousness. Her mind had become depraved. Her thoughts were 
very unclean, so much so, that our Lord said, "It is not meet to take the 
children's bread, and to cast it unto dogs." This young woman was a dog 
lover; at least the scriptures indicate this. The context clearly conveys the 
idea, that she was in that depraved state of mind, and that she was co- 
habiting with dogs. Hence it was useless to teach purity to her, unless she 
changed her state of thought. Our Lord said, "Cast not thy pearls before 
swine, lest they turn upon you and rend you" — that is, do not attempt to 
teach purity to hogs and the carnal minded in thought, for you will only 
make them mad, and they will turn upon you and destroy you. To suggest 
purity to them only arouses the evil within them, and they will turn upon 
you, like mad snakes. 

This young woman was in this evil state of consciousness, hence our* 
Lord said, "It is not meet to take the children's bread and cast it unto 
dogs" — that is, she was in such a depraved state of mind that she could 
not receive the Truth and the teachings of purity. But her mother said, 
"Yes Lord; Yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs " 

This expression from the mother shows that she had become humbled, 
and humility puts the pride of the flesh, under its feet. The mother had 
become a Christian and was no longer a Gentile in thought. Because the 
mother had become humbled, and a Christian, and because of her humility, 
the Master said, "For this saying, go thy way, the devil has gone out of thy 
daughter. And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone 
out of her, and her daughter laid upon the bed." . 

The mother had become pure in mind, and for the purity of the mother's 
mind the Master had cast the devil out of the mind of the daughter, and 
she was no longer a dog lover, but was healed, and was pure of heart. The 
mother had overcome the love of the senses and lust in thought, and through 
this state of mind her daughter was healed.

There are women all around us today in the same depraved state of 
mind, as this young woman. They are dog lovers, and are cohabiting with 
dogs. If they would be healed, they must overcome their depraved states 
of mind. 

While writing this book, a friend of mine, and another gentleman, were 
walking down one of the fashionable streets of Kansas City, and an elegantly 
dressed woman (we will not call her a lady) came along with a large, fine 
looking ma 1 e dog The woman was bedecked with diamonds and costly 
jewels. Her linens, satins, and robes were of the best that money could 
buy. Her body was perfumed with the most expensive odors and oint- 
ments. She was dressed in all the paraphanalia of Babylon. The dog, 
too, was perfumed, well bathed, and well kept. He was bedecked with 
ribbons, and she was leading him gently, by a beautiful chain. She stopped 
at the corner of the street, for some purpose, in front of these two gentle- 
men. The dog immediately threw his head under her underwear and 
attempted to cohabit with her, on the street. One of the men, who was an 
eye witness to this case, told me these facts. This dog was this woman's 
lover, and she had been using him for sex purposes, and having been edu- 
cated to cohabit with her, he attempted the act, in public on the street. 

While I was practicing law I had a client who came near being killed 
by a large dog, that was kept by a prominent society woman. The man 
came upon them, in the room, while the dog was committing the sex act, 
and through a fit of jealousy, the dog lunged at the man's throat, and came 
near killing him, before he could get out of the room, and get the door 
closed. This young woman was the daughter of a prominent roailroad 
official, and traveled from ocean to ocean, on free passes, and in state 
rooms with this dog as her companion 

There are just as many dog lovers among women today, as there were 
when Moses wrote the Mosaic Law, prohibiting the women from cohabit- 
ing with the lower animals. 

There are just as many dog lovers today, as there were when St. Jude 
wrote his epistle, denouncing this practice, as "going after strange flesh." 

There are just as many dog lovers today, as there were in the days of 
Sodom and Gomorrah, when God destroyed those cities for this same 
depravity, which prevailed there, too 

There are just as many dog lovers today, as there were when St. Paul 
wrote "Beware of dogs." St. Paul had been a man of the world, before his 
conversion. He had been a Jewish lawyer, and had seen every phase of 
depravity, and he, himself, said, that he had been an "ungoldy man." 

He was deep within the senses, when he went to Jerusalem to persecute 

—160— 



the Christians. The scale of the senses was thick over his eyes when he 
stood by and consented to the stoning of St. Stephen to death. He was 
then in the night of the senses, and without spiritual understanding. But 
on his way to Damascus, this scale of the senses, fell from his eyes, through 
the vision of mind, and spiritual sense. Then he could see the degradation 
and sensuality of the Roman Empire with the eye of mind, free from the 
senses. Every state of degradation then prevailed in the Roman Empire 
and St. Paul saw this condition with the eye of Soul sense. 

Well might this Hebrew lawyer, who had seen every state of lust and 
depravity, after the scale of the senses had been removed from his own 
eyes and understanding, write, "Beware of dogs." 

He knew that the social and depraved women, throughout the Roman 
Empire, were cohabiting with dogs, daily, just as they had done in the old 
days of Sodom and Gomorrah, and have done in all ages of the world, (and 
today is no exception), since the serpent entered into consciousness. 

Parents should never permit a girl, after she reaches puberty, to have a 
male dog for a companion. She may not be actually cohabiting with the 
dog, but it is the sex thought that causes her to desire the male dog. I 
is the sex vibration that causes her to want the companionship of the male 
dog. She may not understand it, and may not be able to explain it to her 
own consciousness, but this is the fact, nevertheless. If a girl is permitted 
to have a male dog, as a daily companion, the chances are that she will 
become a dog lover, and learn to cohabit with the dog. If she once be- 
comes possessed with this idea, and educated to this depraved practice, the 
chances are she will go through life, without overcoming it, and as a degen- 
erate. 

The elderly women, who drive through your parks, and along your 
boulevards, in their expensive carriages, or automobiles, bedecked in fine 
raiment, costly jewels, and ornaments of gold, with a male dog in their laps, 
be-ribboned and perfumed, as a rule have been dog lovers in their youth, 
and they are still dog lovers in thought. So, in their old age, and when 
their hair is gray, they are still possessed with this depraved sex thought. 

Here is an illustration, viz. : We knew of a woman, who was the second 
wife of a Baptist minister. When between seventy and eighty years of 
age, she became possessed with the love for young boys. She would dress 
and adorn herself, paint her wrinkled face, and try to make love to young 
boys of eighteen years of age, and want them to make love to her. She 
would continuously say, that she was going to divorce her husband, who 
was an old man about her age, and marry her a young boy. This woman 
was rational, except on this question, but she was diseased in the brain, as 
to the sex thought for boys. The disease was a sex thought. 

These are the devils that Our Lord was casting out of the minds of the 
diseased, while here in the flesh. 

—161— 



Those, who become diseased for the flesh of the beast creation, are 
insane on this thought. All dog lovers are diseased and insane. The 
disease is within the brain. It is within the sex thought. 

Well might the Apostle John conclude his spiritual vision of the Holy 
City, in Revelation, with these words, 'Blessed are they that do his com- 
mandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter 
in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers 
and whoremongers and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and 
maketh a lie." Rev. 22:14-15. 

The Apostle John here names those who are without the Holy City, 
and the first on the list are dog lovers. This is the most degraded state of 
lust. Then follows sorcerers, whoremongers, murderers, and idolaters, 
and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. All of these are of the lie of the 
senses and a lie can not enter the presence of God, who is Truth. 

When God made man in his image, he told Adam and Eve, that if they 
partook of the forbidden fruit, they should become as gods, knowing good 
and evil. 

The gods, here, are the senses of the brain and sex organs, and when 
they indulged sexually, they partook of the forbidden fruit, and died. 

The gods, here, of the senses, are the "other gods" of the first com- 
mandment. The sex act is the "other gods" of the first commandment, 
and it is the gods of good and evil that Adam and Eve became conscious of. 
These gods are liars and all who serve them are sorcerers, whoremongers, 
murderers, idolaters, and they love and make a lie. For Gur Lord said, 
"Whosoever looketh upon a woman to lust after her hath committed 
adultery already in his heart." That is in his mind. 

They are without the Holy City. 

Moses was told in the Mosaic Law, that he should not permit a witch 
to live. Witchcraft is black magic. Black is the quality of mind that 
loves the lust of the flesh. It is the magnetism of the sex senses. The 
female is the negative and drawing force of this sex current, and when she 
uses it to influence and destroy, she is a witch. There is just as much 
witchcraft in the world today, as there was in the days of Moses. 

We have personally seen men and women, come together in a parlor, and 
shake hands, and the sex current was so strong between them, that they 
polarized each other with such an intense current of animal magnetism, 
that electric sparks would flash. 

During my day, there was a woman in the United States of America, 
who went from city to city, hypnotizing bankers with her sex current, and 
borrowing money from them, on any condition she desired. They would 
sometimes loan her all the money they had in the bank, on worthless security, 
when they knew it was worthless. 

—162— 



The president of one bank let her have practically all the money that 
he had in his vaults, on what he knew was worthless security, and as she 
went out of the door with the money, he set crying like a baby, saying "0 
that woman! that woman!" He knew that she had his money on 
worthless security, but he could not resist her sex influence over him, when 
she was conversing with him. This animal magnetism, by which she con- 
trolled this banker, was located in her sex organs. It was sorcery and 
witchcraft. 

But there will be no sorcerers in heaven. And there will be no witches 
in heaven. This state of mind must be overcome, before the soul can know 
God, as the God of Truth. 

Scientists tell us that the Red Sea, which is the Dead Sea, through 
which the Children of Israel passed, is a lifeless body of water and that no 
living creature can live in it. That not even vegetable life can live there. 
It is foul, stagnant, dead water. It was symbolic of the death of the sex 
senses and that disease and death are within the sex organs and that lust 
is death. Within the sea of the sex senses originate poison, disease and 
death. 

This Dead Sea, through which the Children of Israel passed, is within 
the senses of the seven lobes of the brain, and the generative organs, of 
every man and woman. 

Israel means a "soldier of God," or "I am the light of God." As this 
Dead Sea of the senses rolls back from thought and consciousness, we pass 
over on the dry land of Truth and Spirit into Canaan's happy land of 
Spiritual Understanding. 

This Dead Sea closed over on the Egyptians, and drowned them. 
They were within the senses, and a state of lust and idolatry in thought. 
This Dead Sea of the senses closes in on the thought of all who are within 
the senses, and living for the lust of the flesh, and drowns them in the deluge 
of lust. It was the Red Sea, too. Red is that quality of mind, which is 
lustful. Its name was symbolic of a state of thought and a state of mind. 
This Red Sea, and Dead Sea, which rolled back and let the Children of 
Israel pass over on dry land, and closed over on the Egyptians and drowned 
them, is the burning sea of glass, in Revelation. It is the sea "that shall 
be no more," in Revelation, when lust shall have been overcome. 

"When every isle shall flee away," this sea of the senses will be no more 
in thought. This Red Sea, which was the Dead Sea, comes into con- 
sciousness, at puberty. Then the senses ebb and flow, in thought, as the 
gererative organs manufacture the sex fluid, and the sex fluid flows into 
the cells of the brain, and men and women become nature worshippers. 
They then worship the trees, the stars, the moon and the sun, and all 
material nature. These are controlled by the solar system, and so are the 
lust thoughts of men and women. 

—163— 



Men and women's sex senses and lust desires are controlled by the 
solar system. 

When man shall have overcome the sex senses of the brain, and gen- 
erative organs, the solar system will roll away, and be no more to him in 
thought, and man will no longer be a worshipper of nature, but will worship 
the true God of Mind and Spirit, through spiritual sense. 

The Moki Tribe of American Indians have their annual snake dance. 
It is a religious rite with them. The men take the snakes in their mouths, 
and hold them so that the snakes cannot bite them, and dance to the lust 
thought, as a religious rite. The snake types their thought of lust, and 
lust is their religion. They are a sensual tribe of Indians, and a con- 
sumptive and diseased tribe. Their religion is within the sex senses of 
the brain and generative organs. The lower classes, in India, are snake 
worshippers. They are sensual. Their religion is within the senses of the 
brain and sex organs. All races of man have been snake worshippers, in 
their low and sensual state. The snake is the symbol of their low and 
sensual thoughts. So they worship him, as the god of their sex senses. 

This was the state of thought of the people of Nineveh, when Jonah 
went there to preach to them. Their religion was within the sex senses 
of their brains. The sex senses of their brains were the "other gods" that 
they worshipped. The sex senses of their brains were their idols. 

The same was true with Sodom, Babylon, and Gomorrah. The race 
today is living within these cities of the lust senses of the brain. The race 
is living within Nineveh, Sodom, Gomorrah and Babylon. These cities, 
of the sex senses of the brain, which are the Dead Sea of the senses, must 
roll back from the consciousness of the race, before it can pass over on dry 
land and inhabit the land of Canaan, which is the land of spiritual under- 
standing. 

The Dead Sea, which closed in on the Egyptians and drowned them, 
is within the lust senses of the brain of men and women and is destroying 
men today as then. Here are some illustrations of this truth. We knew 
of a man who was a prominent clubman. He indulged with women in 
every way known to nature. These unnatural practices of lust finally 
destroyed his brain. He became insane and the legs and limbs of his body 
perished away for the want of nerve force to feed them. 

Here is another illustration. A man and his wife over-indulged sex- 
ually until he had softening of the brain — he became insane and as he lay 
on his bed dying he (called) cried out and demanded that she be brought 
to him, so he could indulge with her sexually before he died — he fell back 
on his bed and cursed her and damned her when he could not have her 
sexually once more and gave up the ghost with a demon expression upon 
his face. This man had the devil, and the devil which this man had in 

—164— 



his mind was the devil which our Lord was casting -out of the minds of 
men and women while here upon earth. This man died with an erection 
upon his sexual organs. 

As a rule, men and women who die possessed of lust within their minds, 
die with an erection upon their sexual organs. They are possessed with 
the devil, and these lust thoughts take the blood from the brain to the sex 
organs, and in their weakness, they die as the brain has no blood to sustain 
life. 

Another illustration of the Dead Sea of the senses is that like begets 
like. The mother while carrying the child will lust for her own sex. When 
the child is born, if a female it will lust for the woman. We are reliably 
informed that there are places in Chicago, New York, Paris, and London, 
and all of the great cities of the world where women will dress as men so as 
to arouse the passion of their own sex and go and meet women to indulge 
with them sexually. Men who are marked for the love of their own sex, will 
dress as women so as to arouse the passion of men. This is the Cain mark 
of degeneracy. This condition and state of degeneracy existed in 
Babylon and all of the cities of the ancient world — these were the devils 
our Lord was casting out of men and women while here on earth and in the 
flesh. 

When Jacob's wife stole her father's idols and gods, she hid them from 
her father by sitting upon them. She had her monthly sicknes upon her; 
according to the law of the times — you could not make a woman move or 
arise from her seat who had her monthly sickness upon her. She used the 
law of the serpent to hide her stolen goods. The senses steal and lie and 
then hide. In the book of Revelation, we are told that the moon became 
as blood; the moon changes every twenty-eight days, and the woman has 
her monthly sickness every twenty-eight days. The moon controls the 
circulation of the blood and the solar system controls the senses. In Rev- 
elation, there are four beasts and we are told in Revelation that four angels 
stood on the four corners of the earth; four times seven is twenty-eight, 
and as we said the moon changes every twenty-eight days and the woman 
has her monthly sickness every twenty eight days. 

This sickness and the moon is all symbolic of the sea of the senses. It 
is symbolic of the thought of lust in the mind — located in the cells of the 
brain. 

We are told in history and tradition that if Cleopatra's nose had been 
longer, that the world's history would have read differently. This is a 
polite way of saying had her nose been longer, that she could not have 
used her mouth for sex purposes upon Julius Caesar, Mark Anthony, and 
the leaders of the Roman Empire, and have destroyed their brains. This 
dead sea of the senses is destroying the cells of men and women's brains 
today, as of old, and will until lust is overcome. 

—165— 



There is a destructive force in all Nature, and this destructive force, is 
sex, and it is controlled by the solar system, and the seasons. During the 
mating season, all animal life practices self-abuse. This practice is self- 
destruction, and so is the spilling of the sex seed, in any way. As strong an 
animal as a young Jersey bull, that practices self abuse during the mating 
season, when he comes into puberty, is always a runt. He never develops 
into the strong, well matured bull. The same is true as to dogs. The 
young male dog, that practices self-abuse, at puberty during the mating 
season, is always impaired. He never develops into the strong, vigorous 
dog. 

The law of self-destruction is true of all animal life. Boys and girls, 
who become addicted to this unnatural habit, at puberty, are impaired 
mentally, and physically for life. Their minds and bodies never fully 
develop, and if they continue this abuse of nature they go insane and die. 

Men and women after maturity, who become addicted to this un- 
natural habit, if they continue to indulge in it, have softening of the brain, 
and die. The spilling of the sex seed by over sex indulgence also destroys 
and kills mind and body. This law of self destruction is all through nature. 
We are taught in Holy Scripture, that it is self destruction because it is a 
Holy God's penalty of death, pronounced upon sin, which is lust. 

Here is an illustration of this law of sin and self-destruction. A young 
man, some twenty-five years of age, whose brain had begun to soften, and 
he had begun to be silly and idiotic, went to a medical doctor friend, of 
mine, for treatment. The medical doctor told him that his condition was 
due to self-abuse, and that he must cease this practice, and if he must con- 
tinue to gratify his lust, to secure a woman for this purpose. The young 
man replied that he could not do this. That he was a church member 
and a Christian, and that all his family were church people, and it would 
never do for his father and pastor to know that he cohabited with a woman. 
His conception of Christianity was the spilling of the sex seed by self-abuse, 
rather than the natural sex relations with the opposite sex. This is the 
conception of Christianity that the average pagan church member has — 
and it is the misconception of Christianity that he or she practices. In the 
pagan churches, where they cover up and conceal sin and its nature and 
that sin is lust, self-abuse is prevalent. The centers of emotional religion 
of the senses have been in all ages hot beds of self-abuse and secret sin of 
every nature, and insanity and diseases follow as the results. True 
Christianity is the uncovering of sin as lust, and the teaching of men and 
women to overcome the lust of the flesh. The true church is a spiritual 
school, where men and women, and the young as they come into puberty, 
are taught to overcome the lust of the flesh and not to spill the sex seed. 

This is the conception of Christianity that the average Pagan Church 

—166— 



members have — and it is the misconception of Christianity that he or she 
practices. In these Pagan Churches, where they cover up and conceal 
Sin and its nature and that Sin is Lust, self-abuse is prevalent. The 
centers of emotional religion of the senses have been in all ages hotbeds 
of self-abuse and secret sin of every nature, and insanity and diseases 
follow as the result. True Christianity is the uncovering of sin and lust, 
and the teaching of men and women to overcome the lust of the flesh. 
The true Christian Church is a Spiritual School, where men and women, 
and the young, as they come into puberty, are taught to overcome the lust 
of the flesh and not to spill the sex seed. 

We say with regrets, that this is the conception of Christianity that 
the pagan churches have taught the human race and by concealing and 
covering up sin and its source of self-destruction they have cursed the 
human race. There were three children in this family, referred to, and all 
were church members and church workers. The young man told the medical 
doctor that his sister was in the insane saylum, for the same practice and 
abuse of nature, and that his brother was in about as bad a condition as he 
was, from the same abuse. 

We are told in the Holy Scriptures that God struck Onan dead for 
spilling the sex seed on the ground, and the same penalty of death is upon 
the race today for this same sin. It is the duty of every organization that 
calls itself a Christian church to instruct fathers and mothers, and the 
children at puberty, as to the nature of sin. 

Here is another illustration of ignorance. A mother sent for a medical 
doctor, friend of mine, to visit her twelve-year-old daughter, who was 
having spasms. The child had come into puberty and had not been 
taught what she should know, by her mother, and the child had become 
addicted to self-abuse, and had become diseased, mentally, as the result. 
The physician arrived, and saw the child was having spasms, as the result 
of self-abuse, and so informed the mother. The mother was a church 
woman, and possessed all the ignorance of the usual pagan church mother. 
She flew into a rage and fit of temper, and denounced the doctor. The 
physician turned his back on the child, but turned his head around, so as to 
watch her, and he saw her commit the act, and then told the mother what 
he saw. 

Here is another illustration of ignorance in the pagan church world. 
A little girl came into puberty without having been instructed by the 
mother. When her monthly sickness began to flow, the child did not 
understand it. She went to the branch and washed herself in the flowing 
water. But the blood continued to come from her, so the child finally in 
her fright, went to see her father, and the father had to send her to her 
mother to be told what was the matter with her. The mother was a great 

—167— 



church worker and possessed all the ignorance usually due to pagan mothers. 
A pagan clergy and their pagan churches keep the people in ignorance that 
the Bible is a Book of Sex. As we are told in Revelation, the "moon had 
become as blood/' to this child and she was entitled to Christian instruc- 
tion and how to preserve her body and mind pure. 

Here is another illustration. A young man twenty-five years of age, 
was prominently connected with a pagan church, which called itself a 
Christian institution. He became addicted to the unnatural practice of 
self-abuse to such an extent, that he would commit the act, while eating 
at the table. He died of paresis of the brain. The pagan pastor, and 
pagan church to which he belonged, had kept him in ignorance as to sin 
and its nature, and the death penalty for sin, and he died as the result. 

Under the Mosaic Law, the nature of sin, which is lust, and the death 
penalty of lust, which is self-destruction, was taught every Jewish child, 
at puberty, in the Jewish synagogue, and the Jewish parents were taught 
how to instruct their children as to the destructive force of lust, as laid 
down, in the Mosaic Law. 

The early Christian church, when Christianity was in its purity, taught 
the nature of lust and its destructive force, and that it must be overcome, 
to obtain life eternal. 

The fathers and mothers were instructed in these matters, in the early 
church, when Christianity was in its purity, and the children of Christian 
parents, were taught the nature of sin, which is lust at puberty. 

But when the church become pagan, it covered up and concealed the 
nature of sin, and that it is lust. Evil, which is lust, always hides. Pagan- 
ism, which is the religion of lust, has always done this. This serpent of 
death coiled secretly in the bosom of a pagan church, which calls itself 
Christian, has poured out its venom of poison of lust, all through the 
centuries, producing disease, insanity, crime, oppression, murder and death. 
Its slime has corrupted all the race from Adam and Eve to this day. Its 
poison has made mad, the brains of men and women, from Eden until now, 
and it has rotted away the nations as they arose and fell, in all ages. 

We are told in the Holy Scriptures that the "blood is the life of the 
flesh. ,, It consumes the blood to produce the sex seed. When the sex seed 
is spilled, the blood is taken from the body, and this is death. Girls will 
masturbate until they become dirt eaters and also eat cob pipes and coal. 

They go into the senses in this unnatural way until they die. 

In Revelation, we are told of the "pale horse of death." During the 
sex act, the blood rushes to the brain and the face. When the sex act is 
over, the brain is in an aenemic state, and the face is as pale as death. This 
is the "pale horse of death" in Revelation, and the race, through the lie 
of the serpent, is riding this "pale horse of death" to self-destruction. 

—168— 



We are told in the Holy Scripture, that some shall be resurrected to 
"righteousness" and some shall be resurrected to "shame." Those who 
have overcome lust will be Holy and righteous in mind and thought. They 
shall have no "shame." They who have not overcome lust, will still have 
lust in mind and thought and will be "ashamed." There was "shame" in 
the minds of Adam and Eve after they had indulged sexually — and there 
will be "shame" in the next life in the minds of all those who have not 
overcome lust. They will be ashamed in the presence of a Holy God. 

Our Lord said to Peter, that he would build his church upon the Rock 
that He, the Christ, was the Christ, and that the "gates of hell should not 
prevail against it." Our Lord did not say, that he was going to build His 
church upon poor, mortal Peter, as has been so aften said, but He said that 
He was going to build it upon Himself, the Christ, as the Eternal Rock 
of Truth. 

He was the Christ, which means the "Life of God," or the life of good, 
because he had overcome the death of evil, that is lust, and he said he would 
build his church upon this Rock, that is, that He was the Christ, that is 
the Life, and "the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." 

Grave, death, and hell, all, mean the same in the Holy Scriptures. 
Adam and Eve returned to dust, that is to "the grave," which is death and 
hell, for having indulged in the sex act, and gratified their lust. 

The word translated "serpent," that caused them to indulge in the sex 
act, means "babbler," and has the same root meaning as babel and Baby- 
lon. Babylon means "confusion," and "the gate to god," that is, the 
belief of good in the senses. Babylon is the city of the organs of the sex 
act. It is the way or gate to the "good" of the senses. It is death and 
hell. The orgasm of the sex act is the "gates of hell" that Our Lord said 
should not prevail against His church. 

Men and women will masturbate and overindulge sexually, until they 
inflame their brains to such a degree that they will bite their lips, tongues 
and human beings, and even animals, in fits of temper. They are possessed 
of "devils." These were the devils (evil ideas and thoughts) that Our 
Lord was casting out of men and women while here in the flesh. An in- 
stitution that does not teach men and women the nature of sin should not 
be called Christian, for it is of the senses and the flesh and pagan. There 
is not a degenerate state of mind that is not described in the Bible and 
there is not a Holy state of the Redeemed and the Holy Angels that is 
not described in the Bible, and it should be taught as it is written — for it 
is true. 

The church is composed of the regenerated minds. The church is com- 
posed of the minds that have been baptised by the Holy Ghost, and the 
souls that have been baptised by the Holy Ghost, have overcome the love 

—169— 



of the lust of the flesh, and the desire for the orgasm of the sex act. The 
lust of the flesh, which is the "gates of hell" cannot prevail in their minds 
and thoughts. 

The word "church" is from the Greek word "kiriakon," which means 
the "House of the Lord," or the "Lord's house." Our bodies become the 
"temple" and the "house of the Lord," and of the "Living God," as we 
overcome the desire for the lust of the flesh, in mind and thought. 

That is the spiritual and metaphysical meaning of the Greek for the 
"Lord's house." 

The New Testament term for church, in the Greek, is "ecclesia," which 
means "to call out." Spiritually speaking, all, who have overcome the lust 
of the flesh, in mind and thought, have been "called out" from the senses, 
into a state of mind, wherein thought is spiritualized, and the "gates of 
hell" — that is, the lust of the flesh, which is death, — cannot prevail against 
them in mind and thought. This is the first Resurrection. 

"Blessed are they" who have a part in the first Resurrection, for they 
shall be of those, who are of the second Resurrection, and there shall be no 
more death for those who are of the second Resurrection, for they have 
completely overcome the mind of the flesh, and ascended out of matter and 
the material body, in consciousness. 

We are told, in the Holy Scriptures, that those "who dwell upon the 
earth" shall receive "plagues," "pestilence," "famines," and "destruc- 
tion.' The phrase here translated "those who dwell upon the earth" to 
convey its correct spiritual and metaphysical meaning, should read, "those 
who dwell within the senses" — that is, within matter in thought. Those 
who live within the senses, in thought, live for the sex thought, and the 
gratification of the flesh. If they would overcome the senses for one 
moment, in thought, they would ascend out of their material bodies, as did 
Enoch, Elijah, and Our Lord. It is only the senses and the sex thought, 
that keeps us here, and to "dwell upon the earth" (in the senses.) 

Our divine Lord said, while here in the material body, that "the Son 
of Man is in heaven." He was so pure, while in the material body, that 
he did not have a sex, or sense thought, in mind or in consciousness. 
Hence he said, "I have power to lay my life down, and take it up again," 
and he ascended out of his material body, after he came out of the grave. 

Those who "dwell upon the earth" — that is, in the senses and live for 
lust, shall be diseased and finally meet death. 

The Blessed Virgin overcame the senses. The angel said to her that 
the Holy Ghost should come upon her and the Most High should over- 
shadow her." "The Most High" was God, the Divine Mind, and the 
Divine Mind came to her when the Holy Ghost came upon her. Con- 
ception means to create an idea — and an idea means to see. When the 

—170— 



Holy Ghost came upon her the Blessed Virgin saw entirely through spiritual 
sense and spiritual thought, and the fruition of that conception was and 
is Divine. All other conceptions since the Fall have been of the orgasm of 
the sex act (which is the city of Babylon), and of the night and mind of the 
senses — and of sin. All mothers, except the Blessed Virgin, have had the 
idea and image of the senses, in mind at conception. They saw through the 
mind of the senses at conception, and all the race, except Our Divine Lord, 
have been conceived in sin. 

We are taught in the Holy Scriptures, and especially in Revelation, 
that Babylon, which is the lust of the flesh, shall " utterly be destroyed 
and consumed by fire." Babylon is the sex act and of the senses; and the 
fire of lust is daily burning up, and consuming the flesh, with all manner 
of diseases and insanity. 

This sex lust, in all nature, which is self-destruction, is working out its 
course of final destruction. When it has finally destroyed itself, "Time 
will be no more," and matter will be no more, and thought will be spirit- 
ualized, and the universe will be seen through spiritual sense, by all those 
who have overcome the lust of the flesh. The minds of those who have 
not overcome the lust of the flesh, will be in outer darkness. 

We are told in Genesis, that God created the Creation within seven 
days. He did not create it in seven nights. "Seven," here, is used as a 
heavenly number of mind over the senses, and "day" is symbolic of light. 

Those who dwell upon the earth — that is in the senses and live for lust 
shall be diseased and finally meet death. 

The Blessed Virgin overcome the senses. The Angel said to her that 
the "Holy Ghost should come upon her and the Most High should over- 
shadow her." The Most High" was God, the Divine Mind, and the Divine 
Mind came to her when the Holy Ghost come upon her. Conception 
means to create an idea — and an idea means to see. When the Holy 
Ghost came upon her the Blessed Virgin saw wholly through Spiritual 
Sense and Spiritualized thought and the fruition of that conception was and 
is Divine. All other conceptions since the fall have been of the orgasm of 
the sex act, (which is the city of Babylon) — and of the night and mind of 
the senses — and of sin. All mothers, except the Blessed Virgin, have had 
the idea and image of the senses in mind at conception. They saw through 
the mind of the senses at conception, and all the race except our 
Divine Lord have been conceived in sin. 

Light is symbolic of that quality of mind which is free from the love of 
the flesh, and is in the image of God, as Spirit. 

The seven days, in the account of Creation, which it took to unfold man, 
as a spiritual creature, into consciousness, and into the image and likeness 
of God, as the Spiritual Creator, is symbolic of that state of thought which 
is free from and above the senses of the seven lobes of the brain. 

—171— 



The senses of the seven lobes of the brain is the " earth" into which 
man was turned in thought, when he yielded to lust, and fell. 

The minds, who do not overcome the " earth," (the senses of the seven 
lobes of the brain), are in outer darkness, in the Spiritual world. They are in 
that state of mind that produces diseases, running sores upon the body, 
insanity, crime, oppression, murder, and death, here. Over there, this 
state of mind, of the love of the flesh, torment them in consciousness. This 
is the "lake of fire and brimstone" that "is never quenched, and the "worm 
that dieth not." This is hell. The prostitute is still the prostitute in 
mind. The murderer is still the murderer in mind; the unclean is still un- 
clean, in mind. 

But to those who overcome the lust of the flesh, it is one Eternal Day. 
As St. Peter says "Nevertheless, we, according to the promise, look for the 
new heavens, and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness." Thought, 
there, will be spiritualized. There will not be a carnal desires there, in 
mind and thought. 

This is His church, that Our Divine Lord said that He would build 
upon himself, as the Christ, and the gates of hell (the lust of the flesh) shall 
not prevail against. 

St. John had this idea of spiritualized thought in mind, and the 
church, as spiritual, when he said; "Little children, love one another." 
The saintly apostle, in his pure mind, saw the saints free from lust, and as 
pure as little children. 

He said, "God is love." As we overcome the lust of the flesh and 
become spiritualized in mind and thought, we become the children of 
the Heavenly Father; and like him, in mind and thought. Love becomes 
our mind. As he is Love, likewise love becomes our life, as we become his 
children, and we "love one another," as little children. Love leaves 
no hatred of the lust of the flesh, in mind. 

This is the "tabernacle of God" (of good) that St. John raw through 
his spiritual mind, and spiritualized thought, " coming down from heaven," 
and there is no material temple there. This tabernacle is sp ritual. It is 
the spiritual body, and God, Almighty (Almighty good) and the Lamb 
(Purity) are the light thereof. "And there shall be no night there." 

All who enter this holy state of mind have overcome, as Our Lord over- 
came and have become as" Little children. "They are free from the lust of 
the flesh, and holy in mind and thought. "They are equal unto the angels, 
and can die no more." "And His servant shall serve Him," through spir- 
itualized thought and soul sense, until all infinite space shall vibrate with 
the harmony of love, and this is the spiritual sense of being and this is 
heaven.
